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

purposeTo assess the results of perimetry recorded under dark- and light-adapted (DA and LA) conditions in patients with acute zonal occult outer retinopathy (AZOOR) and to compare the results of electroretinography (ERG) and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in two groups of AZOOR patients.

methodsTwelve patients with AZOOR were studied. The diagnosis of AZOOR was based on the results of ophthalmoscopy, Goldmann kinetic perimetry, and multifocal ERGs. In addition, DA and LA perimetry, ERG, and SD-OCT were performed. The patients were followed for 1-9 years.

resultsThe patients were classified into two types: type A patients (3) had a scotoma detected by both DA and LA perimetry, normal or equally abnormal cone and rod ERGs, atrophy of the outer nuclear layer (ONL), and disruption of the inner segment/outer segment (IS/OS) junction line in the OCT images. Type B patients (7) had a scotoma that was more prominent in LA than in DA perimetry and a continuous IS/OS junction line in the OCT images. Two patients had characteristics of both type A and type B AZOOR.

conclusionsOur findings suggest that eyes with type A AZOOR have focal and severe impairment of both the rods and cones, and eyes with type B AZOOR have focal and specific impairment of the cones.
