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

purposeTo evaluate the morphological changes in retinal microstructures following modified photodynamic therapy (PDT) for chronic central serous chorioretinopathy. SUBJECTS AND

methodsRetrospective study of 21 consecutive eyes (age, 59±8.0 years [mean ± SD]) of 21 patients with chronic central serous chorioretinopathy. Inner foveal thickness (the distance between the internal limiting membrane and external limiting membrane), photoreceptor outer segment (PROS) length at the point without serous retinal detachment and choroidal thickness were assessed with enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography before treatment and at 1, 3 and 6 months after modified PDT.

resultsSix eyes had half-dose and 15 eyes had half-fluence PDT. PROS length within the irradiated area was significantly decreased by 3.9% at 1 month compared with that before modified PDT (43.5±5.72 and 40.5±7.53,

conclusionModified PDT may cause mild temporary microstructural changes.
