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

purposeEnhanced depth imaging (EDI) optical coherence tomography (OCT) has emerged as a novel tool for qualitative and quantitative choroidal assessment in posterior uveitis. The objective of this study was to investigate the role of EDI-OCT to assess the choroidal and retinal changes in posterior uveitis.

methodsIn this retrospective study, EDI-OCT scans of patients with idiopathic posterior uveitis or panuveitis were reviewed. Morphological features from retina and choroid from the OCT scans were assessed and compared to the fellow normal eyes. Follow-up assessment was performed at 6-month follow-up.

resultsNineteen patients with idiopathic posterior or panuveitis were included in the study. Choroidal examination using EDI-OCT scans showed areas of focal hypo-reflective and discrete hyper-reflective foci in one-third patients. Macular edema, disruption of the ellipsoid zone (generalized and discrete), outer retinal hyper-reflective foci, and intraretinal and subretinal fluid were observed.

conclusionsThe index study reports qualitative OCT-derived parameters as possible tools in monitoring disease progression in uveitis.
