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

The efficacy of the 0.19-mg fluocinolone acetonide (FAc) intravitreal implant (ILUVIEN) in the treatment of non-infectious uveitic macular edema (UME) was assessed on twenty-six patients (34 eyes) with non-infectious UME between 2013 and 2020, in a mean follow-up of 18 ± 19.3 (mean ± SD) months. Macular edema was resolved in 24 (70.6%) cases. Five of these eyes had a relapse after 23.2 ± 14 months. Three FAc reinjections were performed and a drying of the macula was observed. After FAc implantation, 24 eyes (70.6%) were completely dry; central retinal thickness (CRT) decreased in 6 eyes (17.6%), but residual intraretinal fluid was still evident. In 20 eyes (58.5%), visual acuity (VA) improved (from +1 to +5 lines) and remained stable in 9 eyes (26.5%). Thirty eyes (88.2%) were pseudophakic at baseline and four were phakic. Three of these eyes had a cataract prior to therapy and the other developed a cataract 2.5 years after the FAc implant was administered. There was an overall increase in intraocular pressure (IOP; +4.4 ± 3.7 mmHg) and eye drops were required in three eyes. The FAc implant led to long-term improvements in mean CRT and VA, and that the side-effect profile was manageable in a clinical setting in patients with non-infectious UME.
