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 Faricimab Real-World Evidence (FARWIDE) studies are evaluating real-world outcomes of eyes with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) or diabetic macular oedema (DMO) treated with faricimab in the UK. Here, we present results from FARWIDE-nAMD for eyes with 12 months of follow-up after faricimab initiation.

methodsnAMD patient-eyes that received ≥1 faricimab injection after May 2022 at one of 35 participating UK National Health Service retinal clinics with ≥12 months of follow-up after faricimab initiation as of July 2024 were included. Treatment-naïve (TN) eyes had no prior anti-VEGF treatment. Previously treated (PT) eyes switched from an anti-VEGF to faricimab. Baseline characteristics, VA, and injection frequency were assessed. Intraocular inflammation (IOI) and presumed infectious endophthalmitis (PIE) rates were pooled for nAMD and DMO eyes with any follow-up duration on faricimab. Analyses are descriptive.

results5854 nAMD patients (6991 eyes; 26.5% TN, 73.5% PT) were included. 83.3% of PT eyes switched from aflibercept 2.0 mg. TN eyes received a mean (SD) of 4.7 (0.7) faricimab injections in months 1-6 and 2.2 (1.1) injections in months 7-12. PT eyes received 4.5 (1.0) injections in months 1-6 and 3.0 (1.2) in months 7-12. In TN eyes, mean (SD) VA increased from 56.4 (16.3) Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study letters at baseline to 60.1 (19.4) at 12 months (mean [SD] change 3.6 [14.7] letters). PT eyes had stable VA. IOI and PIE rates were consistent with faricimab phase 3 trials.

conclusionsThese 1-year data support real-world faricimab effectiveness, durability, and safety in nAMD.
