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

introductionThe present study aimed to evaluate the effect of estimated individual vitreous volume (VV) on intraocular pressure (IOP) spikes after intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor injections (IVIs).

methodsVVs of eyes were calculated using an axial length (AL)-based formula AL3 × (π/6) × 0.76 + 0.012 × (AL - 24), and study eyes were divided into four groups according to their VVs; <4.5 cm3 (Group 1, n = 52), 4.5-5.0 cm3 (Group 2, n = 60), 5.0-5.50 cm3 (Group 3, n = 60), and >5.50 cm3 (Group 4, n = 35). IOP measurements were taken Pre-IVI, immediately after (Post-IVI-0), 5 min (Post-IVI-5), 15 min (Post-IVI-15), and 30 min after the IVI.

resultsA significant IOP change was found between the five-time points in all groups (p < 0.001 for all). Regarding the same time point measurement comparison between the groups, only a statistically significant change was found in the Post-IVI-0 point (p = 0.001). In a post hoc analysis, Group 1, Group 2, and Group 3 had significantly higher IOP values when compared to Group 4 (p < 0.05 for all). Patients treated with prefilled ranibizumab syringes exhibited lower IOP increases than vial-prepared aflibercept injection at the Post-IVI-0 time point (p = 0.042).

conclusionsA similar increase in IOP was observed in eyes with low and intermediate volumes, but the increase was less pronounced in those with high volumes after the IVI. Prefilled syringe form showed a lower IOP increase tendency in comparison with vial-prepared forms of the molecules.
