Combined Therapy Versus Fortified Anti-VEGF Monotherapy in Type C Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy: Long-Term Outcomes and Exploratory Biomarker Insights.

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.
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
While standard anti- vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy, with or without photodynamic therapy (PDT), is effective for patients with polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV), not all achieve optimal visual outcomes. This study aimed to compare fortified (double the dose and the volume of the standard one) anti-VEGF combined with PDT versus fortified anti-VEGF monotherapy and to investigate biomolecular profiles and disease relationships among PCV, neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nvAMD), and central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR). The goal was to identify novel pathways to inform future therapeutic strategies, including hypoxia-inducible factors (HIF)-1α inhibitors. This retrospective cohort study included 23 eyes with indocyanine green-confirmed type C PCV. One eye treated with transpupillary thermotherapy was not included in the following two groups. Patients received either combined therapy (PDT + fortified-dose anti-VEGF;
