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 determine the association of age-related maculopathy susceptibility 2 (ARMS2) gene polymorphisms with the phenotype of typical neovascular age-related macular degeneration (tAMD) and polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) and the effects of photodynamic therapy (PDT).

methodsThe single nucleotide polymorphisms at rs10490924 (A69S) in ARMS2 of 68 tAMD and 119 PCV patients who underwent PDT were genotyped using the TaqMan assay. The baseline best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and lesion size were compared among the three genotypes at rs10490924. A multivariate regression analysis was performed to evaluate the influence of the baseline BCVA, greatest linear dimension (GLD), and lesion phenotype (tAMD or PCV) on the association of rs10490924 with the BCVA 12 months after the first PDT.

resultsThe mean lesion size was significantly different among the GG, GT, and TT genotypes at rs10490924 in the PCV group, although no significant differences were detected in the tAMD group. PCV patients with a G allele had significantly better vision at 3 months after the initial PDT. tAMD patients with a TT genotype had significantly poorer vision at 12 months after the first PDT. In the multivariate regression analysis, the additive model of the G allele at rs10490924 was associated with a significantly better BCVA 12 months after the first PDT in tAMD and PCV patients.

conclusionsARMS2 variants are likely associated with the phenotype and the effects of PDT in tAMD and PCV.
