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

Purpose: The aim of this study was to present the outcomes of the Vitreo-retinal Society of India (VRSI) Practice Pattern Survey 2020 in medical retina. Methods: An online survey of members of VRSI was conducted in April 2020 regarding their practice-patterns on varied medical and surgical retina topics concerning imaging and management approach. The results were evaluated by two independent experts in this field and compared with the evidence and other practice patterns in the world. Results: A total of 107 VRSI members participated in the online survey. Responses were obtained on management of wide-ranging chorioretinal disorders such as Central Serous Chorioretinopathy (CSCR), Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy (PCV), Neovascular age related macular degeneration (n-AMD), Retinal Vein Occlusions (RVO), and Diabetic Retinopathy (DR). Participants were also surveyed regarding their attitudes and perceptions about anti-VEGF practice patterns and role of imaging in their current practice. Each of the survey question responses were then compared to contemporary literature, including evidence-based guidelines, randomized controlled trials (RCTs), real-world evidence and analogous international surveys. Comprehensive analysis related to this has been put forward in the article. Conclusion: This survey represents the contemporary practice patterns amongst vitreoretinal specialists in India. The survey results are vital for fellow practitioners to understand the 'standard of care' practice in medical retina. This will guide them to devise the best possible individualized treatment strategy for most favorable clinical outcomes.
