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

Geographic atrophy (GA) and choroidal neovascularization (CNV), the two late forms of age-related macular degeneration, are generally considered two distinct entities. However, GA and CNV can occur simultaneously in the same eye, with GA usually occurring first. The prevalence of this combined entity is higher in histological studies than in clinical studies. No distinct systemic or genetic risk characteristics are associated with the combined GA/CNV entity, although on clinical examination and retinal imaging it can feature drusen or subretinal drusenoid deposits. GA and CNV may exist within the spectrum of a single disease, or they may be two very different diseases. Therapy with antivascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) is often successful for CNV, but some evidence suggests increased rates of GA development in eyes treated with anti-VEGF. In this article, we review the current literature regarding the epidemiology, clinical presentation, and treatment options for patients with the combined GA/CNV entity.
