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

purposeThis study was conducted to determine whether oxygen saturation and retinal blood vessel diameter are affected by retinitis pigmentosa (RP) at various ages.

methodsRelative oxygen saturation was measured in retinal blood vessels in 68 RP patients and 136 normal subjects using the Oxymap T1 retinal oximeter. Subjects were divided into two age groups: Group A (20-40 years) and Group B (> 40 years). One randomly selected eye of each subject was used for statistical analysis. Student's t tests were used to analyze the mean saturation and diameter of retinal arterioles and venules and arteriovenous differences between RP and normal subjects in the two age groups. A Spearman test was used to analyze the correlation of mean saturation of retinal arterioles (AS) and arteriovenous differences (AVS) with visual acuity, disease duration, and electroretinogram (ERG) b-wave amplitude in patients with RP.

resultsAS was significantly higher in patients with RP (105.5 ± 9.4 %) than in normal subjects (94.5 ± 4.4 %, p = 0.000) in Group A, while in Group B, AS was significantly lower in RP patients (86.8 ± 10.3 %) than in healthy subjects (96.0 ± 4.8 %, p = 0.000). Vessel diameter was smaller in RP patients than in normal subjects. AS and AVS showed a negative correlation with disease duration and a tendency toward positive correlation with ERG b-wave in patients with RP.

conclusionsThe shifting characteristics of retinal vessel oxygen saturation suggest that the pathological mechanism of retinal oxygen metabolic disorder differs by age in patients with RP.
