Anti‐vascular endothelial growth factor (anti‐VEGF) with or without pan‐retinal photocoagulation (PRP) vs PRP alone

Need for vitrectomy · proliferative diabetic retinopathy

Anti‐vascular endothelial growth factor (anti‐VEGF) with or without… may leads to lower need for vitrectomy compared with PRP alone (low certainty).

Any intervention vs steroid alone or plus levofloxacin

Proportion of initially unaffected fellow eyes that had signs/symptoms of infection within 7 days of onset of signs/symptoms in the first eye (lower is favored) · epidemic keratoconjunctivitis

The review found no eligible studies for this question.

Standard treatment plus systemic corticosteroids vs usual care

Adverse effects: exposure keratopathy · patients age 10 years and older with periorbital or orbital cellulitis

It is very uncertain whether standard treatment plus systemic corticosteroids changes adverse effects: exposure keratopathy compared with standard treatment alone (very low certainty).

Radiotherapy combined with anti‐VEGF vs anti‐VEGF alone

Progression to visual loss (loss of 3 or more lines on logMAR chart) · people with neovascular AMD

Radiotherapy combined with anti‐VEGF probably leads to higher loss of 3 or more lines of best‐corrected visual acuity Measured… compared with anti‐VEGF alone (moderate certainty).

Radiotherapy combined with anti‐VEGF vs anti‐VEGF alone

Change in visual acuity (logMAR) ‐ 12 months (negative is better) · people with neovascular AMD

Radiotherapy combined with anti‐VEGF showed no clear difference in change in best corrected visual acuity (logMAR units) Measured using… compared with anti‐VEGF alone (low certainty).

Combined steroid and antibiotic therapy vs antibiotics alone

Complete resolution of endophthalmitis at 3 months' · eyes with acute endophthalmitis following an intraocular procedure (e.g. surgery, intravitreous injection)

It is very uncertain whether combined steroid and antibiotic therapy changes complete resolution of endophthalmitis at 3 months' compared with antibiotics alone (very low certainty).

Combined steroid and antibiotic therapy vs antibiotics alone

Visual acuity · eyes with acute endophthalmitis following an intraocular procedure (e.g. surgery, intravitreous injection)

Combined steroid and antibiotic therapy may leads to higher visual acuity 6/6 to 6/18 at 3 months' compared with antibiotics alone (low certainty).
