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

Fibrosis is a major vision-threatening complication of neovascular retinal diseases, including neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). Although vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibition effectively suppresses vascular leakage and neovascularization, some patients still develop fibrosis and experience irreversible vision loss. Recent studies have identified multiple interconnected signaling pathways that contribute to fibrotic progression, highlighting the potential need for combination or multitargeted therapeutic strategies. This review summarizes the cellular origins of myofibroblasts, the molecular mechanisms underlying fibrosis, and recent advances in antifibrotic therapies. We particularly highlight the angio-fibrotic switch, mesenchymal transition, cellular stress responses, extracellular matrix remodeling, mechanotransduction, and emerging therapeutic approaches for ocular fibrosis. Relevant preclinical and clinical studies were identified through searches of PubMed and clinical trial registries.
