Changes in choroidal blood flow and choroidal thickness after treatment in two cases of pediatric anisohypermetropic amblyopia.

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.
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
purposeWe aimed to examine the changes in choroidal blood flow (CBF) and central choroidal thickness (CCT) in children with anisohypermetropic amblyopia using laser speckle flowgraphy (LSFG) and enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT). OBSERVATIONS: The patients were both 6-year-old Japanese male children with complaints of worsening right visual acuity and were diagnosed with anisohypermetropic amblyopia. The decimal best-corrected visual acuities (BCVAs) in cases 1 and 2 were both 0.5. In both cases, LSFG results demonstrated CBF impairment in amblyopic eyes compared with fellow eyes. EDI-OCT results also showed that the CCTs of amblyopic eyes were greater than those of fellow eyes at the initial visit. Several months after the first visit, the decimal BCVAs in both cases had improved to 1.0 because of treatment. Further, the CBF gradually increased along with a decrease in the CCT of the amblyopic eye. The axial lengths and spherical powers of the amblyopic eyes in the two cases were not different during follow-up. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE: We have determined the changes in CBF and CCT in two children with anisohypermetropic amblyopia for the first time. CBF impairments may be involved in the pathogenesis of anisohypermetropic amblyopia, and LSFG may be useful in examining CBF in pediatric anisohypermetropic amblyopia.
