a

95% CI.

b

The primary outcome was the mean difference in treatment group outcomes (monthly minus TAE) from month 6 to 12.

c

97.5% CI.

d

Central subfield thickness scores were obtained via spectral-domain optical coherence tomography.

e

Not significant after correction for multiple testing.
