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 evaluate the efficacy and safety of conbercept for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) when administered at the labeled dose (0.5 mg) and double dose (1.0 mg). Methods: Patients with nAMD were randomized to either 1.0 mg or 0.5 mg groups. The 1.0 mg group received intravitreal injection of 1.0 mg conbercept once monthly for the first three months, followed by a pro re nata regimen (3+PRN). The 0.5 mg group received 3+PRN regimens of intravitreal 0.5 mg conbercept throughout the treatment period. Changes in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central macular thickness (CMT), and maximum pigment epithelial detachment (PED) height from baseline were compared between the two treatment groups at 1-, 3-, 6-, and 12-month follow-ups. Results: Thirty-three patients completed the study, including 16 in the 0.5 mg group with an average age of 74.00 ± 8.23 years, and 17 in the 1.0 mg group with an average age of 72.29 ± 6.47 years. At 3-month, BCVA improvement in the 1.0 mg group was significantly higher than in the 0.5 mg group ( Conclusion: While the 1.0 mg group showed a transient but significant BCVA improvement at 3 months and a longer recurrence interval, further large-scale trials are needed to validate these preliminary findings. Trial Registration: This study was registered with the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (http://www.chictr.org.cn/, ChiCTR2000029503). Registration date: 03/02/2020.
