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

Recent advances in imaging technology and increased options of pharmaceutical therapy require that guidelines on the diagnostic criteria and treatment of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) be updated at regular intervals. These guidelines aim to standardize the management of neovascular AMD based on the latest understanding of its pathophysiology, advancements in diagnostic imaging modalities, and treatment options. The key updates include: (1) a revision of terminology and stage classification, adopting the AMD classifications of atrophic and neovascular, and adding end-stage AMD to the existing early, intermediate, and late stages; (2) the inclusion of pachychoroid in addition to drusen in the initial pathophysiology and pathogenic background; (3) diagnostic criteria defined by the presence of macular neovascularization based on multimodal imaging, including optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography; (4) assessment of disease activity based on OCT; and (5) treatment guidance, including prophylaxis and low vision care as well as loading and maintenance phases by use of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy and adjunctive therapies. We hope that these guidelines will be useful for those working in clinical practice in Japan, in other Asian countries, and in countries outside Asia.
