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.

Abstract

purposeTo evaluate age-related differences in the prevalence of subtypes of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in the first diagnosed eye.

methodsThis retrospective, observational study included 1099 eyes of 1099 patients diagnosed with neovascular AMD. The neovascular AMD cases were classified into three subtypes: typical neovascular AMD, polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV), and type 3 neovascularization. The patients were divided into four groups, according to age: > 50 and < 60 years, ≥ 60 and < 70 years, ≥ 70 and < 80 years, and ≥ 80 years. Difference in the prevalence of three AMD subtypes was evaluated among the four age groups.

resultsIn the age group > 50 and < 60 years, 34 (25.0%) and 102 patients (75.0%) were diagnosed with typical neovascular AMD and PCV, respectively. In the age group ≥ 60 and < 70 years, 90 (28.1%), 206 (64.4%), and 24 patients (7.5%) were diagnosed with typical neovascular AMD, PCV, and type 3 neovascularization, respectively. In the age group ≥ 70 and < 80 years, the corresponding numbers were 200 (41.9%), 197 (41.3%), and 80 (16.8%), respectively; in the age group ≥80 years, the corresponding values were 83 (50.0%), 39 (23.5%), and 44 (26.5%), respectively. A significant difference was observed in the prevalence of the subtypes of neovascular AMD among the four age groups (chi-square test, P < 0.001).

conclusionSubtype prevalence in newly diagnosed neovascular AMD differs significantly according to age. This result suggests that different pathophysiology may be involved in the development of different subtypes of neovascular AMD.
