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

purposeTo report the one and two year outcome of cycles of three, monthly anti-VEGF injections given upon reactivation of the disease in eyes with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).

methodsRetrospective study of naïve nAMD cases with more than one year of follow-up, treated with a protocol of cycles of three monthly injections of anti-VEGF drugs upon reactivation. Visual acuity (VA) and central macular thickness (CMT) are the main outcome measures.

resultsTwenty-six patients with a mean age of 78.15

conclusionThis protocol can stabilize or improve vision in 87.5% of nAMD patients and can reduce the number of visits.
