Simultaneous bilateral intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor injections from one vial for diabetic macular edema: a retrospective analysis.

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
Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of simultaneous bilateral intravitreal injections of anti-vascular endothelial growth factors (anti-VEGF) from a single vial for the treatment of diabetic macular edema (DME). Methods: A retrospective case series study was undertaken. The study population comprised patients who underwent intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor injections for DME at the Ophthalmology department of Zhejiang Hospital between January 2022 and May 2024. Participants were categorized into bilateral ( Results: There were no statistically significant differences in terms of age, gender, hypertension, years of diabetes, disorganization of the inner retinal layers (DRIL), ellipsoid zone (EZ) grade, BCVA, CST or CAT at baseline between the two groups. Both bilateral and unilateral injection groups demonstrated significant enhancements in BCVA at 1 month post-injection ( Conclusion: Simultaneous bilateral anti-VEGF injections from a single vial are both safe and efficacious for the treatment of DME, thereby reducing the treatment burden, visit times and costs while enhancing patient compliance.
