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

We investigated the long-term visual and anatomical outcomes of aflibercept monotherapy for exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD) with good baseline best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA). A medical chart review was performed for 40 consecutive patients with baseline decimal BCVA ≥ 0.6 secondary to exudative AMD. Three monthly injections were administrated, and thereafter additional injection was performed if needed over 5 years. In total, 13 eyes with neovascular AMD (nAMD) and 27 eyes with polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) were enrolled. In both groups, the mean BCVA significantly improved at the 12-month visit (
