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

objectiveThis meta-analysis aimed to compare the effect and safety of conbercept with panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) vs. PRP in the treatment of diabetic retinopathy (DR).

methodsRelevant studies were identified through systemic searches of PubMed, EMBASE, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wanfang database up to December 2020. The results of conbercept and PRP in patients with DR were analyzed, including overall effectiveness, best corrected visual acuity, central macular thickness, and complications.

results12 articles involving 1244 patients with DR were identified for this meta-analysis. The results of the meta-analysis showed that conbercept combined with PRP significantly increased the level of overall effectiveness and significantly reduced the central thickness of macula and the incidence of complications compared with the control group.

conclusionsConbercept with PRP tended to be more effective than PRP alone in terms of functional outcomes for treating DR.
