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

The treatment of age-related macular degeneration with anti-VEGF medications has resulted not only in significant improvements in eye treatment but also in rising costs of ophthalmological therapy. This new treatment has been rapidly introduced into daily practice in Germany with its social security healthcare system and also in Great Britain with its National Health Service. In both countries the most prevalent treatment scheme currently includes three baseline injections of ranibizumab followed by additional injections depending on persisting disease activity.
