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

backgroundWe present a case of retinal occlusive vasculitis following brolucizumab administration and the first report of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) findings after treatment. CASE PRESENTATION: A 71-year-old man complained of vision loss in the left eye 6 weeks after brolucizumab injection. His visual acuity was counting fingers, and examination revealed 1 + anterior chamber cells with 2 + vitreous cells. Fundus examination demonstrated vitreous haze, retinal whitening, and vascular sheathing. Fluorescein angiography revealed filling defects in the retinal arteries and veins, and OCTA showed extensive capillary nonperfusion. Under the diagnosis of brolucizumab-associated intraocular inflammation (IOI) and retinal occlusive vasculitis, topical, sub-Tenon, and systemic corticosteroids were administered. After the treatment, visual acuity improved to 20/200, and OCTA revealed gradual improvement in capillary dropout; however, with the limited improvement of reperfusion in the perifoveal areas.

conclusionsPrompt evaluation and intensive corticosteroid treatments are required for brolucizumab-associated IOI. OCTA imaging provides detailed information on microvascular changes in the retinal vascular plexuses in brolucizumab-associated retinal occlusive vasculitis.
