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

The pending introduction of home-based optical coherence tomography (OCT) in managing neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) has sparked interesting debates. Advocates assert that home-based OCT will revolutionize care of patients with nAMD, while skeptics question its real-world viability and point out its potential drawbacks. This article delves into the dichotomy, presenting the "pro" argument highlighting the transformative potential of home OCT and the "con" perspective, which scrutinizes the limitations and challenges to adapting the technology to the real-world setting. By exploring both sides of the discourse, we aim to address the promises and complexities surrounding the role of home OCT in the management of nAMD.
