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

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of irreversible vision loss worldwide. Geographic atrophy (GA) is an advanced, currently incurable stage of non-exudative AMD and is characterized by progressive atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium and outer retina, resulting in substantial visual impairment. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has revolutionized the diagnosis and monitoring of AMD by enabling in vivo visualization of retinal microstructure and identification of imaging biomarkers associated with progression to late-stage disease. Improved understanding of these lesions may clarify disease pathogenesis and inform the development of new therapeutic strategies and clinical trial endpoints. This review summarizes OCT-based biomarkers reported as predictors of progression to late atrophic forms of AMD, with emphasis on early atrophic changes that precede GA.
