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

purposeRetinal vascular networks are observed as a layered structure residing in a nerve fiber layer and an inner nuclear layer of the retina. This study aimed to evaluate reflectance confocal adaptive optics scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (AO-SLO) for imaging of the layered retinal vascular networks.

methodsThis study included 16 eyes of 16 healthy cases. On the fovea, 2.8- and 3.0 mm

resultsSufficient images of capillary networks for analysis could be generated when the motion contrast was enhanced with AO-SLO movies in seven cases (43.8%). The deep capillary network could be distinguished in the merged image. Vascular depiction performance in AO-SLO was significantly better than in OCTA at both 0.5- and 1.0-mm areas from the fovea (

conclusionsRetinal vascular imaging using AO-SLO might be a useful adjunct to OCTA as a supportive method to evaluate the retina in healthy patients and patients with disease. TRANSLATIONAL RELEVANCE: In cases requiring accurate and detailed retinal vasculature observation, AO-SLO might be useful for evaluating retinal vascular lesions as a supportive imaging method of OCTA.
