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

aimTo analyze the clinical efficacy of intravitreal injection of ranibizumab (IVR) on diabetic macular edema (DME) with multifocal electroretinography (mfERG) and optical coherence tomography (OCT).

methodsA total of 41 patients (41 eyes) with DME were treated with IVR. The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), mfERG results, and OCT were analyzed to compare to the baselines at 1wk, 1, and 3mo after operation.

resultsThe BCVA was significantly improved in all eyes at each time point (

conclusionOCT and mfERG fully demonstrate the importance of IVR for DME patients from the macular morphology and function, especially the significance of mfERG in this disease.
