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

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Bevatas Patients and Methods: The BIOS-RVO study was a retrospective interventional study conducted at a single tertiary eye care facility in India. 154 treatment-naïve eyes with RVO (CRVO: 62 eyes; BRVO: 92 eyes) received intravitreal bevacizumab biosimilar (IVBb) therapy. Data on best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central macular thickness (CMT), and intraocular pressure (IOP) were collected at baseline and at 3, 6, and 12 months post-therapy. Results: The average age of participants was approximately 55.99 (+12.56) years, with a nearly equal gender distribution (M:F = 49.4:50.6). Age differences between BRVO and CRVO groups were not significant ( Conclusion: The BIOS-RVO study demonstrates that Bevatas is an effective and safe treatment option for both CRVO and BRVO. These findings support the use of Bevatas as a cost-effective alternative to branded anti-VEGF agents, particularly in resource-limited settings.
