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

backgroundThe ratio of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) and pigment epithelium detachment (PED) represents an important parameter regarding the risk of developing a tear of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) in patients with vascularized PED due to age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

methodsWithin the framework of the RECOVER study a total of 29 treatment-naive patients with vascularized PED underwent fluorescein angiography (FA), indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) volume scans. The CNV-PED ratio was evaluated retrospectively by two independent graders in three ways: 1) manually based on the en face image of the FA late phase and 2) manually based on the en face image of the ICGA late phase. 3) In every OCT scan encompassing the PED, the area between the RPE and Bruch's membrane and the CNV area was measured and multiplied by the distance between OCT scans in order to determine volumetric data of CNV, PED and the serous cavity.

resultsThe FA and ICGA showed a mean serous area of 6.14 ± 4.21 mm

conclusionAssessment of the CNV-PED ratio using volumetric OCT measurements is an additional tool to the en face modalities FA and ICGA. This seems to be clinically relevant regarding the risk stratification of RPE tear development in PED patients and for the planning of the treatment regimen.
