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

backgroundDiabetic macular edema (DME) can cause severe vision impairments for patients with diabetes. Recently, Conbercept has shown efficacy on DME with 3-monthly loading dose injection and pro re nata (PRN, 3+PRN) thereafter in retrospectivetrials. Furthermore, there are some other approaches have been recommended such as 2mg bimonthly (2q8) after 5 initial doses, or Conbercept 0.5mg treat-and-extend, however, some patients still have recurrence of the disease after treatment. Therefore, in order to identify more efficacy and safety approach on Conbercept inpatients with DME, a randomized controlled trial will be performed with 6-monthly loading dose injection and PRN (6+PRN) compared with 3+PRN treatments.

methodsThis study is a multicenter, randomized control trial of Conbecept treating DME in China. Patients with type 2 diabetes suffered from DEM who already planned to receive Conbercept treatment will be recruited. All subjects will be randomized divided into either a study agent treatment group (6+PRN) or a control group (3+PRN), and observes the subjects for 48 weeks after initiation of treatment.

resultsThis study will provide a new powerful evidence of the efficacy and safety of Conbecept treating DME. DISCUSSION: This RTC study will determine whether multiple treatments of Conbercept provide better effectiveness in patients with DME. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: ChiCTR2000032728.
