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

We herein report intraocular inflammation (IOI) following intravitreal (IVT) faricimab injection in three patients. A 73-year-old male, a 68-year-old female, and an 82-year-old female, all diagnosed with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD), had received multiple anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) injections for the same. They were injected with IVT faricimab due to non-response to other agents. Following IVT faricimab, two patients presented with mild vitritis (grade 2) within three days post-injection, and one patient presented with anterior uveitis on day 1. No associated retinal vasculitis or occlusion was present. All patients responded well to topical steroid therapy. Notably, the 68-year-old lady had a history of IOI (mild vitritis) following a single IVT brolucizumab in the past. The other two patients had not received IVT brolucizumab earlier. IOI after IVT faricimab has been reported a few times previously. One must be aware of the spectrum of presentation (vitritis, anterior uveitis, panuveitis, vascular occlusion, vasculitis) and be vigilant to provide timely management, especially in sight-threatening cases. A history of IOI following previous brolucizumab injection needs to be evaluated further for possible immunological mechanisms at play.
