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

In this retrospective longitudinal observational study, data from one site of the Fight Retinal Blindness! Registry (University of Zurich, Switzerland) was used to investigate the quantity and distribution of recurrent fluid in neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). Study eye eligibility required treatment-naïve nAMD, receiving at least three anti-vascular endothelial growth factor injections, followed by a treatment discontinuation of at least six months and subsequence fluid recurrence. To quantify fluid, a regulatory approved deep learning algorithm (Vienna Fluid Monitor, RetInSight, Vienna, Austria) was used. Fifty-six eyes of 56 patients with a mean age of 76.29 ± 6.58 years at baseline fulfilled the inclusion criteria. From baseline to the end of the first treatment-free interval, SRF volume had decreased significantly (58.0 nl (IQR 10-257 nl) to 8.73 nl (IQR 1-100 nl), p < 0.01). The quantitative increase in IRF volume from baseline to the end of the first treatment-free interval was not statistically significant (1.35 nl (IQR 0-107 nl) to 5.18 nl (IQR 0-24 nl), p = 0.13). PED also did not reach statistical significance (p = 0.71). At the end of the second treatment discontinuation there was quantitatively more IRF (17.3 nl) than SRF (3.74 nl). In conclusion, discontinuation of treatment with anti-VEGF therapy may change the fluid pattern in nAMD.
