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

purposeTo present functional and anatomical outcomes of subretinal therapy with Voretigene Neparvovec (VN) in patients treated in one of the four specialist UK gene therapy centres.

methodsSingle-centre, retrospective case series of patients affected by an inherited retinal dystrophy (IRD) caused by a pathogenic biallelic RPE65 mutation and treated with VN. Complete ophthalmic examination was planned preoperatively and 2, 4 and 8 weeks and 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months after surgery, and included visual acuity (VA) assessment (normal and low luminance), colour vision, contrast sensitivity, dark-adapted full-field stimulus threshold, macular optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fundus autofluorescence.

resultsFourteen eyes of 8 patients were included with a mean follow-up of 26 months. Mean final VA improved by 2 lines, and improvements were noted in most other functional tests. Central retina thickness (CRT) remained fairly stable in the majority of patients, whereas 2 eyes experienced a reduction >30 μm. The status of ellipsoid band and external limiting membrane remained stable in all patients, except one. Peripapillary atrophy (PPA) was present in 5 eyes of 3 patients at the baseline; postoperative progression was noted in both eyes of one patient. No patient developed new PPA or chorioretinal atrophy (CRA) involving the macular area after treatment. Five eyes of 3 patients developed CRA at the retinotomy site, that progressed in 3 of them.

conclusionsOur study confirmed the effectiveness of subretinal VN therapy in terms of improvement of visual function. CRA was confirmed as a common postoperative complication, with limited functional impact.
