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

Neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nARMD) is an important cause of visual impairment and blindness in the elderly, with choroidal neovascularization in the macula as the main pathological feature. The onset of nARMD is closely related to factors including age, oxidative stress, and lipid metabolism. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an important factor contributing to nARMD as well as choroidal neovascularization and retinal leakage formation. At present, anti-VEGF therapy is the only treatment that improves vision and halts disease progression in most patients, making anti-VEGF drugs a landmark development for nARMD treatment. Although intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF drugs has become the first-line treatment for nARMD, this treatment has many shortcomings including repeated injections, poor or no response in some patients, and complications such as retinal fibrosis. As a result, several new anti-VEGF drugs are being developed. This review provides a discussion of these new anti-VEGF drugs for the treatment of nARMD.
