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 assess the efficacy and safety of intraocular injections of bevacizumab in patients with macular edema (ME) following branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) and central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO).

methodsRetrospective, non-comparative case series. Patients ≥18 years of age with ME secondary to BRVO or CRVO who received a minimum of one intravitreal injection of bevacizumab with a follow-up >3 months were included. Primary endpoints were mean change in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) from baseline to 12 and 24 months, and mean change in central macular thickness (CMT) after 3 injections. Secondary endpoints were mean change in BCVA and CMT from baseline to end of follow-up, number of injections, and ocular adverse events.

resultsEighty-seven eyes with BRVO and 65 eyes with CRVO were included. Mean follow-up time was 24.4 and 26.1 months in the BRVO and CRVO groups, respectively. The mean change in BCVA was 0.25 LogMAR in the BRVO group and -0.118 LogMAR in the CRVO group.

conclusionVisual acuity outcomes in the CRVO group were poorer, especially in patients with low baseline BCVA.
