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

objectivesTo assess the visual outcome of extension to 12-weekly intervals (Q12W) following 4 loading doses of intravitreal Faricimab injections as described in the TENAYA and LUCERENE trials for the management of treatment-naïve neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration (nAMD).

methodsA retrospective analysis was carried out on all treatment-naïve nAMD patients who started Faricimab intravitreal injections in the period between 1

resultsSixty-eight eyes completed the one-year of treatment. The mean (SD) age was 79.9 (8.7) years and 61.8% were females. The mean (SD) number of injections at 52 weeks was 6.8 (0.8). The BCVA improved from baseline by a mean (SD) of 7.0 (10.8) letters at 12 weeks (p < 0.001), 7.3 (12.1) letters at 24 weeks (p < 0.001) and 8.2 (13.4) letters at 52 weeks (p < 0.001). The mean (SD) reduction in CST was 114.8 (SD 122.8) microns at 24 weeks (p < 0.001), and 89.4 (121.9) microns at 52 weeks (p < 0.001).

conclusionA Q12W approach following 4 loading doses of Faricimab for the treatment of nAMD in real-world achieves excellent visual outcomes comparable to pivotal trial with optimum number of injections in the first year.
