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

purposeThe aim of this study was to compare dynamic thiol/disulfide homeostatic status in acute central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) patients by using a novel and automated assay determining dynamic thiol/disulfide homeostasis.

methodsFifty-one patients with acute CSCR (study group) and 65 healthy individuals (control group) were enrolled in this study. Diagnosis of acute CSCR was made clinically and using spectral-domain RTVue OCT (optical coherence tomography) (Optovue, Fremont, CA). Fluorescein angiography confirmed the diagnosis of acute CSCR in all subjects. Total thiol, native thiol, disulfide amount, and native thiol/disulfide ratio (TDR) were calculated in the blood samples.

resultsMean total thiol, native thiol, and native TDR values were lower in patients with acute CSCR (364.2 ± 14.1, 326.4 ± 13.2, 17.14 ± 1.9, respectively) than in healthy eyes (441.2 ± 16.3, 398.5 ± 16.4, 22.70 ± 2.15, respectively; mean total thiol, p = 0.017; native thiol, p = 0.011; native TDR, p = 0.031).

conclusionsTotal thiol, native thiol, and native TDR were significantly lower statistically in patients with acute CSCR when compared with healthy controls.
