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

introductionThis study aims to evaluate the ocular and systemic safety profiles of intravitreal biosimilar ranibizumab Ranieyes (Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Mumbai, India) in real-world clinical settings across multiple chorioretinal vascular diseases, including neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), diabetic macular edema (DME), and retinal vein occlusion (RVO) in adults.

methodsWe conducted a retrospective, consecutive, interventional, uncontrolled multicenter study using data from three hospital networks in India. A total of 1401 eyes received 2194 injections of Ranieyes between June 2022 and November 2023. Patients were followed for a minimum of 6 months, and data on ocular and systemic adverse events (AEs) were collected and analyzed.

resultsThe study population included 636 male patients and 533 female patients, with a mean age of 58.63 ± 11.54 years. The average number of injections per eye was 1.49 ± 0.23, with the highest frequency in the nAMD group (mean of 2.3 ± 0.23 injections per eye) over 6 months. Non-serious adverse events (nsAEs) were observed in 26.83% of injections, with mild ocular pain and transient blurring of vision being the most common. Serious ocular adverse events were rare, occurring in 0.85% of eyes, with retinal pigment epithelial tear (RPE TEAR) being the most frequent. Systemic adverse events were noted in 5.03% of patients, and all but one were non-serious. One patient developed non-fatal myocardial infarction, the causal relationship of which, however, was not established with the intravitreal agent used. No cases of endophthalmitis were observed.

conclusionsThis large-scale, real-world study demonstrates that Ranieyes is a safe intravitreal antivascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) agent across various chorioretinal vascular diseases. The safety profile of Ranieyes is consistent with that of the reference product, making it a viable option in resource-constrained settings.
