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: To assess the real-world efficacy and safety of intravitreal faricimab in treating Diabetic Macular Edema (DME), neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration (nAMD), and Central Macular Edema (CME) secondary to retinal vein occlusion (RVO) in an Indian population. Patients and Methods: This single‑center, retrospective observational study reviewed the records of 49 patients (49 eyes) diagnosed with DME, nAMD, or cystoid macular edema secondary to RVO, who received a total of 150 intravitreal faricimab injections and were followed for at least 24 weeks. Patients received intravitreal faricimab injections, with follow-up at four-week intervals. Outcome measures included changes in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central macular thickness (CMT), along with resolution of intraretinal (IRF) and subretinal fluid (SRF) in nAMD patients. Results: Faricimab significantly improved BCVA and reduced CMT across all groups after a mean follow-up period of 33.31 (± 7.41) weeks. DME patients' BCVA improved from 0.71 (± 0.36) LogMAR to 0.46 (± 0.35) LogMAR ( Conclusion: Faricimab demonstrated significant visual and anatomical improvements across all diagnostic groups, including off‑label use in RVO‑associated CME during the study period, showing promise as an effective treatment for DME, nAMD, and RVO. These real-world outcomes align with clinical trial data (TENAYA, LUCERNE, YOSEMITE, RHINE), underscoring faricimab's potential as an effective, dual-action therapy for chorioretinal disorders.
