Sustained-Release Microspheres of Rivoceranib for the Treatment of Subfoveal Choroidal Neovascularization.
Article in Pharmaceutics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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 wet type of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) accompanies the subfoveal choroidal neovascularization (CNV) caused by the abnormal extension or remodeling of blood vessels to the macula and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is known to play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of the disease. In this study, we tried to repurpose an investigational anticancer drug, rivoceranib, which is a selective inhibitor of VEGF receptor-2 (VEGFR2), and evaluate the therapeutic potential of the drug for the treatment of wet-type AMD in a laser-induced CNV mouse model using microsphere-based sustained drug release formulations. The PLGA-based rivoceranib microsphere can carry out a sustained delivery of rivoceranib for 50 days. When administered intravitreally, the sustained microsphere formulation of rivoceranib effectively inhibited the formation of subfoveal neovascular lesions in mice.
