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

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy and safety of intravitreal conbercept in patients with chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (cCSC) complicated by occult choroidal neovascularization (CNV), and to explore its potential in improving visual function and various ophthalmic parameters. Methods: This retrospective, longitudinal, comparative study included 50 patients diagnosed with cCSC and occult CNV. Patients underwent intravitreal conbercept injections and were monitored over a six-month period. Comprehensive ophthalmic evaluation included best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central macular thickness (CMT), subretinal fluid (SRF) status, subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT), and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). OCTA parameters such as foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area and CNV lesion characteristics were analyzed pre- and post-treatment. Patients were categorized based on changes in CNV lesion size to identify prognostic factors influencing treatment response. Results: Significant improvements were observed in mean BCVA from baseline (0.78 ± 0.50 vs. 0.32 ± 0.31, Conclusion: Intravitreal conbercept injection was found to be safe and effective in improving BCVA and various ophthalmic parameters in patients with cCSC complicated by occult CNV, with no significant adverse effects observed during the study period. Baseline CMT, SRF diameter, CNV lesion size, and mean CNV vessel diameter were identified as valuable indicators for assessing treatment response and prognosis. These findings provide important insights for the clinical management and prognostic evaluation of cCSC patients with occult CNV, highlighting the utility of multimodal imaging in assessing treatment outcomes.
