1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundThe aim was to describe the morphological alterations of the retina seen in spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) of eyes with central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC). PATIENTS AND

methodsData of patients in the database with CSC examined with SD-OCT scans (n = 50) and fluorescein angiography (FA) were analyzed for representative cases exhibiting significant changes of the retinal structure allowing a direct comparison of SD-OCT with FA images and a description of the findings.

resultsApart from the 3 well-known CCS types [type I shows only subretinal fluid (SRF), type II only serous pigment epithelial detachment (PED) and the intermediate type showing both SRF and PED] hybrid forms were also observed in multifocal CSC, for example type I and type II next to each other. Of the patients 1 showed transformation from type II to type I over a period of 3 months. Small bulges of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) seen in OCT images could be angiographically related to leakage spots. Degenerative changes with subretinal granular sediments, patchy defects in the photoreceptor layer, granular alterations of the RPE and atrophy of the RPE and neuroretina were particularly observed in chronic CSC.

conclusionSpectral domain OCT is a valuable imaging technology enabling detailed visualization of retinal changes in patients with CSC. It gives access to a better understanding of the disease mechanisms and may provide a new approach to the classification and understanding of CSC.
