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
purposeWe aimed to investigate the relationship between the severity of metamorphopsia and the foveal microstructure measured with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in patients with cystoid macular edema caused by branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO-CME).
methodsThe study included 30 eyes of 30 patients with BRVO-CME. We examined visual acuity and the severity of metamorphopsia using M-CHARTS. Central foveal thickness, central retinal thickness at the fovea (CRT-1 mm), and macular volume were measured with SD-OCT software. The status of ellipsoid zone (EZ), external limiting membrane (ELM), outer retinal cyst, and inner retinal cyst was also evaluated.
resultsThe mean metamorphopsia score was 0.77 ± 0.50, with 28 of 30 patients (93 %) having metamorphopsia (metamorphopsia score ≥ 0.2). The vertical metamorphopsia score (0.89 ± 0.54) was significantly higher than the horizontal metamorphopsia score (0.64 ± 0.53) (p < 0.005). The status of EZ and ELM was significantly associated with visual acuity, but not with the mean metamorphopsia score. The mean metamorphopsia score was significantly related to CRT-1 mm (p < 0.05) and the presence of inner retinal cyst (p < 0.05).
conclusionsThe severity of metamorphopsia was significantly associated with central retinal thickness and the presence of inner retinal cyst.
