Single herb plus conventional intervention vs conventional intervention

Visual improvement at end of treatment, as defined by two or more Snellen lines · people with diabetic retinopathy

Single herb plus conventional intervention may leads to higher visual acuity (gain of ≥ 2 lines) (end of treatment) compared with conventional intervention (low certainty).

Subthreshold vs standard macular photocoagulation

Anatomic measures: partial to complete resolution of the macular oedema with stereoscopic fundus photography or biomicroscopy; leakage on fluorescein angiography (IVFA); and, if available, retinal macular thickness with OCT · people with diabetic macular oedema
