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
backgroundNailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC) is a diagnostic tool to evaluate micro-vasculature. The presence of choroidal vasculopathy is apparent in central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR).
objectivesThis study was aimed at assessing capillaroscopic nailfold findings in patients with CSCR. To the best of our knowledge, there is no study assessing NVC findings in CSCR in the literature.
methodSixty-one patients with CSCR who met the inclusion criteria, and 82 age- and sex-matched healthy controls were included to the study. A videocapillaroscopy device with 200× magnification was used for capillaroscopic assessment.
resultsThe mean age was 48.79 ± 11.15 years in the patient group (13 female, 48 male) and 49.38 ± 9.02 years in the control group (17 female, 65 male). The age and gender were comparable in the patient and control groups (p = 0.727 and p = 0.933, respectively). The capillary count was found to be decreased in the patient group compared to control group. No significant correlation was found between capillary count and choroidal thickness (p = 0.551; r = -0.081). In the patient group, the frequencies of major capillaroscopic findings including capillary ectasia, aneurysm, micro-hemorrhage, avascular area, tortuosity, neo-formation, bizarre capillary, bushy capillary, meander capillary and extravasation were found to be increased in the patient group. However, no significant correlation was detected between capillaroscopic findings and disease type and presence of attacks.
conclusionsThis is first study in which nailfold capillary assessment was performed in patients with CSCR, and we detected major capillaroscopic changes. These findings suggest that CSCR can be a systemic microvasculopathy. Further studies are needed to clarify the diagnostic and prognostic value of capillaroscopy in CSCR.
