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

objectiveTo evaluate the efficacy of faricimab in various retinal conditions in previously treated patients.

methodsThis study included patients who received at least three faricimab injections at a large medical center between April 2023 and October 2024, all of whom were not naive to treatment.

resultsA total of 242 eyes from 219 patients were included in the analysis. The diagnoses were: 139 eyes with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (NVAMD), 63 eyes with diabetic macular edema (DME), 24 eyes with polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV), 5 eyes with choroidal neovascularization (CNV) secondary to central serous retinopathy (CSR), 5 eyes with branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) accompanied by cystoid macular edema (CME), 3 eyes with central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) with CME, and 3 eyes with myopic CNV. Patients had previously received intravitreal injections of medications including bevacizumab, ranibizumab, aflibercept 2 mg, brolucizumab, triamcinolone, and Ozurdex. Following treatment with faricimab, the proportion of eyes with no intraretinal or subretinal fluid increased across all retinal diseases. Additionally, the average central subfield thickness decreased, the interval between injections was extended, and average visual acuity improved in every retinal condition. The average height of the pigment epithelium detachment (PED) decreased in cases of NVAMD and PCV.

conclusionsFaricimab appears to be effective after the failure of other treatment options.
