The Distribution of the Photoreceptor Outer Segment Length in a Healthy Population.
Article in Journal of ophthalmology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
purposeTo evaluate the effects of age and sex on the photoreceptor outer segment (PROS) length in healthy eyes, using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).
methodsA total of 97 eyes of 97 healthy participants (spherical equivalent < ±1 diopters [D]) were scanned with SD-OCT. The patients were divided into 3 groups by age: group 1 (0-20 years), group 2 (21-40 years), and group 3 (41-60 years). The PROS length was defined as the distance from the inner surface of IS/OS (inner segment/outer segment) band to the inner surface of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE).
resultsThe mean PROS length was 52.01 ± 3.79
conclusionThe difference in PROS length was not statistically significant neither for age nor for gender; females tended to have a lower PROS length than males, and PROS length was slightly higher in the first two decades of life.
