Chorio-retinal thickness measurements in patients with acromegaly.
Article in Eye (London, England), 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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 compare choroidal, foveal, and peripapillary retinal thickness between patients with acromegaly and healthy adults.
methodsThis prospective, cross-sectional, and comparative study included 30 patients with acromegaly (study group) and 30 healthy subjects (control group). The subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT), foveal thickness, and peripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer thickness were measured with spectral domain optical coherence tomography.
resultsThe mean SFCT in the study group and in the control eyes was 374.4±98.1 and 308.6±77.3 μm, respectively (P<0.001). The mean thinnest foveal thickness value was 233.2±22.4 μm in the acromegaly group and 222.8±13.9 μm in the control group (P=0.003). The mean peripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer thickness did not differ significantly between the groups (P=0.34).
conclusionThe SFCT and foveal thickness were significantly higher in patients with acromegaly, whereas peripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer thickness was similar between the groups.
