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

purposeTo quantify the preoperative neovascular change pattern on the fibrovascular membrane (FVM) within 7 days after intravitreal injection of conbercept (IVC) using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR).

methodsProspective, observational study of PDR patients with visible FVM receiving or not receiving IVC. Neovascular changes were assessed by OCTA pre-IVC and 1, 3, 5, and 7 days post-IVC. Vessel skeleton density (SD) and vessel density (VD) were quantified by an intensity-based optical microangiography algorithm. The interclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was calculated to assess the agreement between measurements. The SD and VD were compared between follow-ups using repeated-measures analysis in the IVC group.

resultsThe ICC was 0.992 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.982-0.996) for SD and 0.926 (95% CI: 0.838-0.912) for VD of neovascularization. The neovascularization on FVM significantly regressed in the IVC group (n = 16) compared with no IVC (n = 8) (p = 0.001 for SD and p < 0.001 for VD). The comparisons between consecutive follow-ups showed a statistically significant reduction in SD and VD at 1 and 3 days post-IVC. However, from day 3 onward, the SD and VD remained unchanged. There was no development or progression of tractional retinal detachment within the 7-day period after IVC.

conclusionOCTA-based quantification of the neovascularization on FVM in PDR is feasible, with high inter-reader agreement. The regression of neovascularization reaches a plateau 3 days after IVC. CLINICAL
