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

Objectives: The objective of the study is to evaluate anatomical and functional results such as best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central macular thickness (CMT), and intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients who received intravitreal dexamethasone (DEX) implant for diabetic macular edema (DME), and to compare the efficacy according to patients' lens status and concurrent phacoemulsification surgery. Methods: A total of 70 eyes of 55 patients with DME who received intravitreal DEX implantation were included in this retrospective study. Patients who received intravitreal DEX implantation were divided into three groups phaco-DEX (group 1), pseudophakic (group 2), and phakic (group 3). The BCVA, CMT, and IOP changes were compared between the three groups. Results: One month after the intravitreal DEX implant, BCVA improved in all three groups. (p=0.001, p=0.01, and p=0.009, respectively). There was a decrease in CMT at the end of 1 Conclusion: Combining intravitreal DEX implantation with phacoemulsification surgery seems to be an effective and reliable method in patients with DME accompanied by cataract. The IOP elevation in follow-up visits of phakic and pseudophakic patients after intravitreal DEX implantation was not observed in the Phaco-DEX group.
