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

Purpose: To evaluate the association of fluid volatility with ellipsoid zone (EZ) integrity and subretinal hyperreflective material (SHRM) volume during anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy in neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). Methods: This study was a post hoc analysis of the OSPREY study. Retinal volatility was quantified as the standard deviation across weeks 12 to 56 for six optical coherence tomography (OCT) metrics: central subfield thickness (CST), total fluid (TF) volume, subretinal fluid (SRF) volume, intraretinal fluid (IRF) volume, macular total retinal fluid index (TRFI), and central macular TRFI. Eyes with volatility ≤ 25th or ≥ 75th percentile values were compared. Results: Eyes with low volatility in several exudative metrics showed greater change from baseline in SHRM volume at week 12 than eyes with high volatility. During the maintenance phase (weeks 12-56), eyes exhibiting high SRF volatility demonstrated increased SHRM volume compared to eyes with low SRF volatility (P = 0.027). Eyes exhibiting high volatility in CST, TF, and SRF demonstrated less improvement in EZ total attenuation (P < 0.001, P = 0.033, and P = 0.043, respectively) than eyes with low volatility. Early exudative instability (i.e., between weeks 4-8 or weeks 8-12) in multiple parameters (i.e., CST, TF, IRF, macular TRFI, or central macular TRFI) was associated with greater volatility during the maintenance phase (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Greater volatility in exudative OCT metrics, particularly SRF volatility, was associated with a greater increase in SHRM and less improvement in EZ integrity, suggesting that volatility is detrimental to multiple anatomic features in nAMD. Early exudative instability during the loading phase of treatment was associated with longer-term volatility in exudation.
