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

backgroundCoats disease is an idiopathic exudative outer retinopathy caused by abnormal retinal vascular development.

aimTo evaluate the long-term outcomes of intravitreal conbercept injection with laser photocoagulation as a treatment for Coats disease in adults.

methodsThis retrospective case series study included patients diagnosed with Coats disease and treated with intravitreal conbercept injection and 532-nm laser photocoagulation at the Ophthalmology Department of Shenzhen People's Hospital between January 2016 and January 2017. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) measurements, noncontact tonometry, ophthalmoscopy, fundus photography, fundus fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography were performed before treatment and at 1 wk, 1 mo, 3 mo, 6 mo, 9 mo, 12 mo, 24 mo and 36 mo after therapy. Best-corrected visual acuity was measured using the early treatment of diabetic retinopathy study chart.

resultsThe study included eight eyes of 8 patients (7 men) aged 36.10 ± 6.65 years. The average BCVA of the affected eye before treatment was 51.17 ± 15.15 letters (range, 28-70 letters), and the average central macular thickness was 303.30 ± 107.87 µm (range, 221-673 µm). Four eyes were injected once, three were injected twice, and one was injected three times. Average follow-up duration was 37.33 ± 2.26 mo. Average BCVA of the affected eye was 51.17 ± 15.15 letters before treatment and was increased by 13.50 ± 3.20, 16.25 ± 7.73, 18.25 ± 8.96, 18.03 ± 5.27, 18.63 ± 3.35, 19.75 ± 6.96, 18.05 ± 5.36 and 17.88 ± 3.45 letters at 1 wk, 1 mo, 3 mo, 6 mo, 9 mo, 12 mo, 24 mo and 36 mo after treatment, respectively (

conclusionIntravitreal injection of conbercept combined with 532-nm laser photocoagulation may be a feasible treatment for Coats disease in adult patients.
