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 was a single center, prospective uncontrolled nonrandomized case series. Two eyes with recalcitrant ME secondary to CRVO, who have received a minimum of ten intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) injections, underwent IVI brolucizumab (BRZ). Patients underwent best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) testing, ophthalmic examination, and optical coherence tomography at baseline and follow-up visits (weeks 4, 8, 12, and 16). Both patients demonstrated notable improvement in BCVA and reduction of fluid on SD-OCT lasting up to week 12. At week 16, though both the eyes maintained the visual acuity gains, early increase in fluid was noted in both cases, for which second dose of IVI BRZ was given. No ocular or systemic adverse events were noted in these 2 cases.
