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

backgroundThe Faricimab Real-World Evidence (FARWIDE) studies are evaluating real-world outcomes of eyes with diabetic macular oedema (DMO)/neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) treated with faricimab in the UK. We present results from FARWIDE-DMO for eyes with 12 months of follow-up after faricimab initiation.

methodsFARWIDE-DMO includes patients with diagnosis of DMO who received ≥1 intravitreal faricimab injection after May 2022 in the diagnosed eye(s) at 1 of 35 UK National Health Service sites. All eyes had ≥12 months of follow-up after faricimab initiation as of July 2024. Treatment-naïve (TN) eyes had no prior anti-VEGF therapy or steroid implant. Previously treated (PT) eyes switched to faricimab. Baseline characteristics, visual acuity (VA) outcomes and treatment patterns were evaluated. Intraocular inflammation (IOI) and presumed infectious endophthalmitis (PIE) incidences were pooled for all nAMD/DMO eyes with any follow-up duration. Analyses are descriptive.

results2147 eyes (1564 patients) were included (TN, 32.1%; PT, 67.9%). For TN eyes, mean (standard deviation [SD]) VA at baseline and 12 months were 63.9 (15.2) and 68.4 (16.3) Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study letters, respectively. VA remained stable in PT eyes. TN eyes received a mean (SD) of 4.5 (1.0) faricimab injections in months 1-6 and 1.9 (1.2) injections in months 7-12. PT eyes received 4.5 (1.2) injections in months 1-6 and 2.4 (1.3) in months 7-12. IOI and PIE rates were consistent with faricimab phase 3 trials.

conclusionsThese 1-year data support real-world effectiveness, durability and safety of faricimab in DMO.
