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

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the primary cause of irreversible blindness among the elderly in the western world. To date, no cure is available and the current anti-VEGF therapy has only shown limited efficacy in improving visual acuity in neovascular AMD. The etiology of AMD remains elusive but research over the past decade has uncovered characteristic features of the disease. These features include: oxidative stress and retinal pigment epithelial cell cytotoxicity; loss of macromolecular permeability and hydraulic conductivity in Bruch's membrane; inflammation; choroidal neovascularization and vascular leakage; and loss of neuroprotection. Recent breakthroughs in understanding the pathogenesis of AMD have spawned an array of novel therapeutic agents designed to address these hallmarks. Here we review the features of AMD and highlight the most promising therapeutic and diagnostic approaches based on the patents published from 2008 to 2011.
