Trial report in Graefe's archive for clinical and experimental ophthalmology = Albrecht von Graefes Archiv fur klinische und experimentelle Ophthalmologie, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT00891735 (A Phase III, Double-masked, Multicenter, Randomized, Active Treatment-controlled Study of the Efficacy and Safety of 0.5 mg and 2.0 mg Ranibizumab Administered Monthly or on an As-needed Basis), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract

purposeTo characterize relationships between Consensus on Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration Nomenclature (CONAN) Study Group classifications of macular neovascularization (MNV) and visual responses to ranibizumab in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).

methodsThis was a post hoc analysis of the phase 3 HARBOR trial of ranibizumab in nAMD. Analyses included ranibizumab-treated eyes with baseline multimodal imaging data; baseline MNV; subretinal and/or intraretinal fluid at screening, baseline, or week 1; and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography images through month 24 (n = 700). Mean best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) over time and mean BCVA change at months 12 and 24 were compared between eyes with type 1, type 2/mixed type 1 and 2 (type 2/M), and any type 3 MNV at baseline.

resultsAt baseline, 263 (37.6%), 287 (41.0%), and 150 (21.4%) eyes had type 1, type 2/M, and any type 3 lesions, respectively. Type 1 eyes had the best mean BCVA at baseline (59.0 [95% CI: 57.7-60.3] letters) and month 24 (67.7 [65.8-69.6] letters), whereas type 2/M eyes had the worst (50.0 [48.6-51.4] letters and 60.8 [58.7-62.9] letters, respectively). Mean BCVA gains at month 24 were most pronounced for type 2/M eyes (10.8 [8.9-12.7] letters) and similar for type 1 (8.7 [6.9-10.5] letters) and any type 3 eyes (8.3 [6.3-10.3] letters).

conclusionDifferences in BCVA outcomes between CONAN lesion type subgroups support the use of an anatomic classification system to characterize MNV and prognosticate visual responses to anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy for nAMD.
