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

This was a prospective, single-dose, single-arm, open-label, non-randomized, multicenter clinical study to determine cardiovascular safety after a single brolucizumab 6 mg intravitreal injection in neovascular age-related macular degeneration patients (N = 14). Electrocardiogram (ECG) data were collected at different time points using 12-lead Holter and standard ECG, and patients were followed up to 8 days (end of study) for any signs of ocular and non-ocular adverse events (AEs). No clinically meaningful changes were observed in cardiac parameters. No patient had a ≥30 msec change from baseline in heart rate-corrected QT using Fridericia's formula (QTcF), and no patient had a new QTcF value of ≥450 msec between 20 and 24 h after treatment. No deaths or serious AEs were reported during the study period. These results are in line with the absence of new cardiovascular safety signal based on the ECG recordings collected over the first year of the pivotal studies performed with brolucizumab in DME. Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03954626.
