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

backgroundThe prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) in China is high, and the base is broad. Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a critical condition affecting the life and health of a nation and its economic development. DR is a common complication of DM.

aimTo investigate the efficacy of laser photocoagulation combined with intravitreal injection of conbercept for treating macular edema.

methodsOverall, 130 patients with diabetic macular edema (DME) hospitalized in The Third People's Hospital of Changzhou from January 2019 to June 2022 were retrospectively included. According to the treatment plan, 130 patients with DME were categorized into an observation and a control group, with 65 patients in each group. The control group received laser photocoagulation, and the observation group received laser photocoagulation with intravitreal injection of conbercept. Observe changes in vision, cytokines in the eye and so on.

resultsThe total efficacy rate in the observation group (93.85%) was higher than that in the control group (78.46%) (

conclusionIn patients with macular edema, combining laser photocoagulation and intravitreal injections of conbercept for DME is a more effective and safer strategy to improve vision, and lower intraocular cytokine levels.
