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

objectiveTo describe the clinical findings and report the incidence of patients developing non-infectious intraocular inflammation (IOI) following intravitreal faricimab injections (IVFs).

methodsA retrospective review of electronic medical records was conducted for patients receiving faricimab intravitreal injections for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) and diabetic macular oedema (DMO) at Moorfields Eye Hospital, London, United Kingdom, over a 24-month period.

results3985 eyes from 3151 patients were included and underwent a total of 28,535 IVFs (20,982 for nAMD, 7553 for DMO). 57 eyes from 46 patients presented at least one episode of IOI. The 2-year estimated incidence of IOI was 0.20% [95% CI 0.15-0.26] per injection, 1.43% [95% CI 1.08-1.85] per eye and 1.46% [95% CI 1.07-1.94] per patient. Mean visual acuity (VA) was significantly different between the day of IVF (0.48 ± 0.43 logMAR, range: 0-1.8) and the day of IOI diagnosis (0.67 ± 0.52, range: 0-2.3) (p < 0.001). VA after IOI resolution showed no significant difference from baseline (p > 0.99). Intravitreal injections were resumed in 42 eyes. IVFs re-challenge was attempted in 9 eyes, with 5 developing another episode of IOI.

conclusionsThis study describes one of the largest reported cohorts of IOI cases following faricimab treatment. It confirms that the incidence of IOI is rare and aligns with the rates of IVF-related adverse effects reported in clinical trials and in recent real-world studies. Overall, faricimab demonstrated a favourable safety profile with good prognosis in cases of IOI.
