Volume-rendering three-dimensional image analysis of macular neovascularization in age-related macular degeneration.
Article in Eye (London, England), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
backgroundTo visualize and investigate the three-dimensional (3D) images of macular neovascularization (MNV) in eyes with neovascular age-related macular degeneration using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) according to the treatment response to intravitreal aflibercept injection (IVI).
methodsOCTA images at baseline and 12 weeks (after three loading IVIs) were retrospectively reconstructed as 3D images for patients with type 1 and 2 MNV treated with the "pro-re-nata" regimen. The fluid-free and persistent fluid groups were divided according to the presence of subretinal and intraretinal fluid at 12 weeks after treatment. Using reconstructed 3D images of MNV, the volume, average volume per slice, and z-axis of the volumetric structure were evaluated.
resultsTwenty-three and nine were classified into the fluid-free and persistent fluid groups, respectively. The MNV volume decreased significantly from baseline to 12 weeks in the fluid-free group (p = 0.005), not in the persistent fluid group (p = 0.250). The average volume of MNV per slice at 12 weeks correlated with the persistent fluid group in both the univariate and multivariate analyses (p = 0.034, p = 0.039, Exp [B] = 14.005).
conclusionsThis study may provide a perspective on vascular volumetric changes of MNV according to treatment response.
