Purpose: This study aims to summarize the graft dimensions, failure rates, return-to-sport rates and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) with six or eight-strand hamstring tendon autografts (6SHG or 8SHG).
Methods: Three databases were searched from inception to 12 February 2024. The authors adhered to PRISMA guidelines and the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions.
To compare the safety and efficacy of antivascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) monotherapy vs anti-VEGF and steroid combination therapy in treatment-naïve and treatment-resistant patients with diabetic macular edema (DME). : A systematic literature search was conducted from January 2005 to December 2022. Sixteen randomized control trials (RCTs) published in English that reported the efficacy or safety of monotherapy and combination therapy in patients with DME were included.

A systematic search was conducted across MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane databases from January 2000 to June 2023. Studies that used AO-assisted imaging modalities to quantitatively compare photoreceptor outcomes in patients with diabetes or prediabetes with healthy controls were included.

Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis.
Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted across Medline, Embase, and Scopus databases from inception to March 2023.
Introduction: The objective of this study was to examine the association between retinal thickness (RT) fluctuations and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in eyes with neovascular AMD, macular edema secondary to RVO, and DME treated with anti-VEGF therapy.
Methods: A systematic search of Ovid MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library was performed from January 2006 to March 2024. Studies comparing visual or anatomic outcomes of patients treated with anti-VEGF therapy, stratified by magnitudes of RT fluctuation, were included.
Purpose: With the popularization of ChatGPT (Open AI, San Francisco, California, United States) in recent months, understanding the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots in a medical context is important. Our study aims to evaluate Google Gemini and Bard's (Google, Mountain View, California, United States) knowledge in ophthalmology.
Methods: In this study, we evaluated Google Gemini and Bard's performance on EyeQuiz, a platform containing ophthalmology board certification examination practice questions, when used from the United States (US).
Purpose: To assess efficacy and safety outcomes of subretinal fluid drainage methods during pars plana vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.
Methods: A systematic search strategy was conducted for studies published between January 2000 and October 2022. Included studies reported on either the safety or efficacy of two or more drainage methods during pars plana vitrectomy for patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.
