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 investigate the relationship between impairment of cone/rod photoreceptors and changes in optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings.

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed the clinical records of 35 patients with cone-rod dystrophy (CRD) and 35 visual acuity-matched patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP). The presence or absence of the external limiting membrane (ELM), inner segment ellipsoid (ISe), interdigitation zone (IZ), and foveal cavitation (hyporeflective space in the outer retina) were determined using OCT image evaluation.

resultsThere were no statistical differences in the number of CRD and RP patients with an intact ELM and ISe. None of the CRD patients had an intact IZ, but 20 % of RP patients did (P = 0.011). In addition, foveal cavitation tended to be observed more frequently in CRD patients than (25.7 %) in RP patients (5.7 %) despite the difference not being significant after the correction of multiple comparison.

conclusionsEyes with CRD and RP had significant differences in foveal morphology, even when visual acuity was matched. This result supports the notion that absence of an IZ and the presence of foveal cavitation is related to cone-dominant photoreceptor impairment.
