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

Background: To investigate the effect of multiple intravitreal injections of conbercept on the cornea in patients with branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO)-induced macular edema. Methods: The retrospective study analyzed the clinical data of 40 patients (40 eyes) with BRVO-induced macular edema between March 2020 and March 2023. All patients received intravitreal injections of conbercept according to the "3 + PRN" regimen and were followed for at least 6 months. Corneal analysis was performed using a corneal endothelial microscope and a Pentacam corneal topographic map. The best-corrected vision acuity (BCVA), central retinal thickness, central corneal thickness, corneal endothelial cell density, hexagonal cell percentage, and coefficient of variation before and at 1, 3, and 6 months after the injection were compared. Results: The study included 40 patients (22 males and 18 females) with an average age of 50.80 ± 7.35 years (range, 38-67 years). The corneal endothelial cell densities, central corneal thicknesses, hexagonal cell percentages, and coefficients of variation before and at 1, 3, and 6 months after the injection were not significantly different ( Conclusion: Multiple intravitreal injections of conbercept can improve the BCVA and reduce macular edema in patients with BRVO and have no significant effect on the cornea.
