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

backgroundMonoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have demonstrated substantial potential in the treatment of intraocular diseases. This review aimed to comprehensively evaluate the applications, efficacy, and safety of mAbs in the management of intraocular conditions.

methodsA comprehensive literature search was conducted in major medical databases through July 2024. Relevant studies on monoclonal antibodies for intraocular diseases were included. Two independent researchers screened the literature, extracted data, and assessed study quality. Cost-effectiveness analyses were also reviewed.

resultsAnti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) antibodies, such as bevacizumab, ranibizumab, and aflibercept, showed significant therapeutic effects in neovascular age-related macular degeneration (NVAMD), diabetic macular edema (DME), and retinal vein occlusion (RVO). Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) inhibitors demonstrated promising results in treating noninfectious uveitis. Complement system-targeted therapies like pegcetacoplan offered new options for geographic atrophy. Anti-VEGF antibodies showed potential in managing retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). However, challenges persist, including high costs, potential drug resistance, and limited long-term safety data in certain scenarios.

conclusionsMonoclonal antibodies are vital for treating intraocular diseases, but continuous innovation and rigorous clinical evaluation are essential. Future research should focus on developing novel delivery systems, exploring combination therapies, conducting long-term follow-up studies, and investigating personalized treatment strategies to provide safer, more effective, and cost-effective therapeutic solutions.
