Faricimab for Treatment-Resistant Diabetic Macular Edema.

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.
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 assess the short-term outcomes in treatment-resistant diabetic macular edema (DME) patients changed from intravitreal aflibercept (IVA) to intravitreal faricimab (IVF). Methods: A retrospective review was undertaken on DME subjects receiving IVA therapy at a single private practice. Patients were separated into study and control cohorts. Both study and control patients had received more than or equal to six IVA injections during the preceding 12 months, more than or equal to four IVA injections during the preceding 6 months, had a central macular thickness (CMT) on optical coherence tomography (OCT) of ≥300 µm, and had retinal fluid on OCT before cohort assignment. Study patients were switched to IVF and underwent three injections within 4 months, whereas control patients stayed on IVA during the same period and received three injections within 4 months. Results: There were 51 patients analyzed. There were 37.5% (9/24) in the study group and 3.7% (1/27) in the control group who achieved a CMT of less than 300 µm without retinal fluid on OCT at the end of the 4-month study ( Conclusion: For a significant minority, IVF can improve the short-term visual and anatomic outcomes in treatment-resistant DME patients formerly managed with IVA. Longer follow-up is needed to determine if such improvements can be preserved.
