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

purposeOur aim was the evaluation of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and central macular thickness (CMT) in patients with Neuro-Behcet's disease (NBD) and to compare the results with healthy control subjects.

methodsWe recruited 50 eyes of 25 patients with NBD and 42 eyes of 21 age-matched healthy control subjects. Patients and control subjects underwent a thorough ophthalmic examination, including retinal nerve fiber layer and macular thickness measurements by optical coherence tomography.

resultsNo significant difference was found between groups for age, sex, intra-ocular pressure and central corneal thickness measurements. The average RNFL in patients with NBD was significantly lower than that of healthy controls (86.92 ± 18.36 μm vs. 99.74 ± 8.73 μm; p = 0.00). There was significant thinning of the RNFL in three of four quadrants of the peripapillary area, superior (107.22 ± 30.91 μm vs. 125.57 ± 20.97 μm; p = 0.00), inferior (110.36 ± 25.57 μm vs. 132.19 ± 12.71 μm; p = 0.00) and nasal (68.84 ± 18.47 μm vs. 74.98 ± 11.42 μm; p = 0.05), in patients with NBD. Average CMT was significantly lower in NBD patients than in control subjects (244.06 ± 26.25 μm vs. 261.69 ± 25.71 μm; p = 0.00).

conclusionsThere are significant differences in average RNFL and CMT between the two groups. RNFL and CMT thicknesses are reduced in patients with NBD compared with the healthy controls.
