a Mean change in BCVA. b Differences in BCVA change from baseline to week 12 between the two groups. The red vertical lines indicated the mean difference between the two groups, and the grey bar was the 95.0% CI. CI within −5 and +5 letters (dashed vertical lines) indicated that the two groups were equivalent. A lower limit of the 95.0% CI with a value above −5 showed that SML was non-inferior compared with TCL. c Proportions of patients with BCVA change from baseline to week 12. BCVA best-corrected visual acuity, CI confidence interval, SML subthreshold micropulse laser, TCL threshold conventional laser.
