Usage of brolucizumab as treatment for wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV): A narrative review.
Review in Medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) is the gold standard treatment for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) which is responsible for central vision loss. This results in loss of quality of life, comparably severe to having coronary artery disease or cancer. New anti-VEGF agents need to address issues of potency and durability as existing agents tend to lose their effect after 1 month thus, requiring multiple injections at close intervals. Brolucizumab is one of the latest anti-VEGF agents clinically proven to treat nAMD after on-label agents namely, ranibizumab and aflibercept. Several clinical trials were conducted on Brolucizumab to ensure its safety and efficiency before it is approved to be used as treatment. Brolucizumab maintains and improves retinal edema in nAMD leading to improved vision with longer intervals possible between injections. However, it also has a risk of intraocular inflammation. This review summarizes the evidence for brolucizumab in the treatment of nAMD.
