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

purposeTo identify risk factors influencing visual outcomes in patients with pathological myopia-associated choroidal neovascularization (PM-CNV) following intravitreal injections of conbercept.

methodsA total of 86 eyes from 86 patients received intravitreal conbercept in a 1 + PRN regimen. After the initial injection, patients were followed for 12 months. They were categorized into two groups based on their 12-month visual acuity change: those who achieved greater than a one-line improvement in BCVA (improved group; n = 65) and those who experienced a one-line or lesser improvement or a decrease in BCVA (non-improved group; n = 21).

resultsOver the 12-month period, the mean BCVA in the improved group significantly improved from 0.82 to 0.41 LogMAR. In the non-improved group, BCVA changed from 1.24 to 1.09 LogMAR. Similarly, the mean CRT decreased from 426.21 μm at baseline to 251.56 μm at 12 months in the improved group, and from 452.47 to 382.45 μm in the non-improved group. Multivariable logistic regression analyses revealed that older age (OR 1.287; 95% CI 1.019-1.625; P = 0.034), poorer baseline BCVA (OR 6.422; 95% CI 1.625-25.384; P = 0.008), the presence of subfoveal CNV (OR 4.817; 95% CI 1.242-18.681; P = 0.023), and organized interlacing patterns of CNV morphology (OR 5.593; 95% CI 1.397-22.392; P = 0.015) emerged as independent risk factors correlated with worsened visual prognosis following intravitreal conbercept injections.

conclusionsConbercept demonstrates significant efficacy and safety in treating PM-CNV. Key factors influencing visual recovery post-treatment include older age, poorer baseline BCVA, the presence of subfoveal CNV, and organized interlacing patterns of CNV morphology.
