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 study the retinal vessel oxygen saturation alterations in patients with autoimmune retinopathy (AIR) and patients with autoimmune retinopathy associated with retinitis pigmentosa (AIR-RP) in comparison with healthy controls and patients with isolated retinitis pigmentosa (RP).

designProspective, cross-sectional, and non-interventional study. SUBJECTS: Retinal vessel oximetry (RO) was performed on a total of 139 eyes: six eyes suffering from AIR and four eyes with AIR-RP were compared to 59 healthy control eyes and to 70 eyes with RP.

methodsA computer-based program of the retinal vessel analyser unit (IMEDOS Systems UG, Jena, Germany) was used to evaluate retinal vessel oxygen saturation. The mean oxygen saturation in the first and second branch retinal arterioles (A-SO

main outcome measuresOxygen metabolism is altered in patients with isolated AIR and AIR-RP.

resultsBoth, AIR and AIR-RP groups, differed from healthy controls showing significantly higher V-SO

conclusionsBased on our results, in analogy to patients suffering from RP, oxygen metabolism seems to be altered in AIR patients.
