1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

purposeTo evaluate the safety and efficacy of treating macular edema, secondary to noninfectious uveitis, with a humanized anti-CD11a antibody.

methodsSix patients received weekly subcutaneous treatments for 16 weeks according to this open-label, prospective, noncomparative phase I/II trial. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central macular thickness (CMT) were compared to baseline. Adverse events were recorded and assessed. Blood was sampled to assess the levels of CD56(bright) regulatory NK cells before initiation and after termination of the study.

resultsNo serious adverse events were reported by the patients. Patients' ages ranged from 22 to 82 years. Mean BCVA improvements were 6.7 ± 6.9 ETDRS letters in the worse eye and 1.7 ± 5.2 letters in the better eye. Mean CMT reductions were 128 ± 105 μm in the worse eye and 57 ± 68 μm in the better eye. Anti-CD11a antibody treatments resulted in an increase in the CD56(bright) regulatory NK cell population in the peripheral blood of the patients.

conclusionsAnti-CD11a treatment improved visual function, reduced macular thickness, and increased the level of CD56(bright) regulatory NK cells in patients with uveitic macular edema refractory to other immunosuppressive medications. Targeting CD11a may be beneficial in treating other causes of macular edema.
