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

purposePatients with extensive submacular hemorrhage (SMH) caused by age-related macular degeneration (AMD) have a poor visual prognosis despite surgical intervention. Systemic blood-thinning drugs, which are commonly prescribed in the same age group, are known to increase the risk of severe hemorrhage in many parts of the body. This study aimed to investigate whether systemic blood-thinning drugs have an impact on the severity of SMH and if there are differences between the different types of blood-thinning medication.

methodsWe reviewed the medical records of patients who suffered from surgically treated SMH between 2020 and 2022. All patients received a full ophthalmologic examination upon presentation including best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and optical coherence tomography. Other characteristics that were recorded included size of hemorrhage, blood-thinning therapy, and reason for intake.

resultsA total of 115 patients with a mean age of 82 years were included in this retrospective analysis. Eighty-three patients (72.2%) were on blood-thinning therapy. The mean size of SMH was 32.01 mm

conclusionBlood thinners in patients with AMD affect the severity of SMH. Consequently, the indication for their intake should be critically evaluated.
