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 evaluate the clinical efficacy and systemic safety profile of conbercept in clinical practice on vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-A, VEGF-B, and placental growth factor (PLGF) levels after intravitreal injections for the neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

methodsThirty-five patients (35 eyes) with neovascular AMD received intravitreal injections of conbercept treatment with

resultsAt baseline, the mean BCVA score was 39.89±14.64 letters. The mean BCVA scores were 51.03±15.78, 56.71±14.38, and 52.49±10.16 letters at 1, 3, and 12mo after conbercept treatment, and the BCVA improvements were all significant, respectively (

conclusionConbercept intravitreal injection leads to BCVA and CRT improvement, however, it does not significantly affect systemic serum VEGF-A, VEGF-B, and PLGF levels at 1 and 12mo after intravitreal injection treating neovascular AMD.
