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 investigate visual and morphological outcome in eyes with MRS and choroidal neovascularization (CNV) secondary to pathologic myopia treated with intravitreal (IVT) ranibizumab.

methodsPost hoc analysis of the patients included in the RADIANCE trial (n = 277) was performed to evaluate the impact of MRS on the functional outcome in patients with myopic choroidal neovascularization (mCNV) undergoing intravitreal ranibizumab injections.

resultsPrevalence of MRS in pathologic myopia population is 6%. Respective patients were generally older than patients without MRS. Study eyes with MRS at baseline (BL) showed an initially poor treatment response after 3 months (mean change in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 2.8 ± 12.4 letters, P = 0.009). After 12 months of treatment however, the mean change in BCVA was 7.1 ± 14.5 early treatment diabetic retinopathy study (ETDRS) letters (P = 0.025). Patients with MRS at baseline received more intravitreal injections than the other RADIANCE patients without MRS (MRS, n = 15 eyes: 5.8 ± 2.1 vs. RADIANCE non-MRS [n = 207 eyes]: 4.0 ± 2.9; P = 0.0001).

conclusionImprovement of visual acuity is delayed and reduced after 3 months intravitreal ranibizumab in eyes with MRS and myopic choroidal neovascularization compared to eyes without MRS. More ranibizumab injections are needed in eyes with MRS to gain comparable BCVA at Month 12.
