Choroidal thickness findings in two siblings with nanophthalmos by swept source-OCT: a case report.
Article in BMC research notes, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundWe investigated choroidal thicknesses at five sites in two siblings (four eyes) with nanophthalmos using swept-source optical coherence tomography. CASE PRESENTATION: Case 1, a 51-year-old Japanese female with high hyperopia (Right: +20.5 Dioptors, Left: +19.5 Dioptors), had axial lengths of 15.6 mm in both eyes. Case 2, a 55-year-old Japanese male with high hyperopia (Right: +22.5 Dioptors, Left: +22.8 Dioptors), had axial lengths of 14.8 and 14.7 mm in the right and left eyes, respectively. Choroidal thickness was measured at five sites in each eye using swept-source optical coherence tomography; subfoveal, nasal, temporal, superior and inferior (the 4 non-subfoveal sites were measured 3000 µm from the fovea).
conclusionThe mean choroidal thickness was 355.8 ± 63.6 μm at the subfoveal, 466.3 ± 85.1 μm at the nasal, 274.8 ± 77.2 μm at the temporal, 396.8 ± 54.6 μm at the superior, and 480.8 ± 66.8 μm at the inferior (mean ± standard deviation) site. Choroidal thickness was maximal at the inferior site. The choroid was thinnest, in diminishing order, at the nasal, superior, subfoveal and temporal sites.
