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

backgroundthe safety and efficacy of cataract surgery in eyes with exudative neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), receiving active treatment, remain unclear. We evaluated the long-term outcomes and associated predictive factors of cataract surgery in eyes with exudative nAMD.

methodsthis retrospective cohort study included 65 eyes (61 patients) treated with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) injections within six months preoperatively. Changes in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and anti-VEGF treatment patterns from before to up to four years after surgery were assessed. Predictive factors were identified in association with one-year surgical outcomes.

resultsthe BCVA improved at six months (

conclusionspatients with cataracts receiving nAMD treatment can safely undergo surgery with favorable long-term visual benefits. The preoperative BCVA, nAMD duration, and exudation-free period are potential predictors of surgery outcomes.
