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

aimTo observe the long-term clinical efficacy of intravitreal injections of conbercept, a novel vascular growth factor inhibitor, for the treatment of pathological myopia choroidal neovascularization (PM-CNV).

methodsA total of 67 eyes (from 67 patients; mean age, 54.90±12.7y) with PM-CNV were retrospectively researched. Based on the different schemes used for the administration of the drug, the patients were divided into two groups: group A (

resultsThe BCVA was increased in 29 eyes (82.9%) in group A and 30 eyes (93.75%) in group B; no increase or decrease was observed in 6 (17.1%) and 2 (6.25%) eyes in groups A and B, respectively. The BCVA (logMAR) values before treatment (0.67±0.48 and 0.71±0.56) were significantly higher than those 12mo after treatment (0.31±0.26 and 0.33±0.17) in groups A and B, respectively (

conclusionIntravitreal injection of conbercept with 1+PRN or 3+PRN improve the visual acuity, reduce macular edema and reduce the level of CMT in patients with PM-CNV. The 3+PRN regimen demonstrates a lower recurrence rate of CNV than the 1+PRN regimen, but requires more treatment. However, both treatment regimens demonstrate long-term safety and efficacy for the treatment of PM-CNV.
