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

This study investigated one-year outcomes of treatment with one session of intravitreal recombinant tissue plasminogen activator, ranibizumab, and gas injections for submacular hemorrhage secondary to polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV). An extended study of a previous prospective trial of this treatment modality in PCV patients was conducted in 64 patients (64 eyes). Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) score, central retinal thickness (CRT), and central pigment epithelial detachment thickness (CPEDT) before and 1, 3, and 12 months after treatment were analyzed. Mean ETDRS score increased from 58 at baseline to 64 letters (p = 0.0122), CRT decreased from 543 to 192 μm (p < 0.0001), and CPEDT decreased from 161 to 103 μm (p = 0.0668) at 3 months and were maintained until 12 months. Complications requiring reoperation occurred within one month in four eyes. Recurrence was observed in 46 eyes (72%), and 1.6 ± 1.5 (0−7) intravitreal aflibercept injections were given pro re nata. Univariate and multivariate analyses identified CPEDT as the pre- and post-treatment factor affecting 12-month ETDRS score (p < 0.0001). Improved visual acuity stabilized 3 months after treatment. Although 72% of patients experienced recurrence, an average of 1.6 aflibercept injections/patient maintained visual acuity up to 12 months. CPEDT was the most important factor associated with visual outcome.
