Quantitative Comparison of Near-infrared Versus Short-wave Autofluorescence Imaging in Monitoring Progression of Retinitis Pigmentosa.
Article in American journal of ophthalmology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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 quantitatively compare near-infrared autofluorescence (NIR-AF) and short-wave autofluorescence (SW-AF) as imaging modalities used to monitor retinitis pigmentosa (RP) disease progression, measured as a function of hyperautofluorescent ring constriction over time.
designRetrospective cohort study.
methodsNIR-AF and SW-AF images were acquired from 22 participants (44 eyes) at 2 clinic visits separated by an average of 2 years. On the images from each modality, the horizontal and vertical diameters and area of the hyperautofluorescent rings were measured twice, 2 weeks apart. A progression rate for each parameter was obtained. Descriptive and comparative statistics were calculated to analyze these parameters and their respective progression rates.
resultsAt both visits, the hyperautofluorescent ring exhibited a larger horizontal diameter (both visits: P < .001), vertical diameter (visit 1: P < .001, visit 2: P = .040), and ring area (visit 1: P = .001, visit 2: P = .011) in SW-AF vs NIR-AF images. In SW-AF, the horizontal diameter, vertical diameter, and ring area decreased yearly by 168 ± 204 μm, 131 ± 159 μm, and 0.7 ± 1.1 mm
conclusionsIn SW-AF and NIR-AF images, similar rates of RP disease progression are observed. As such, NIR-AF may confer more advantages as the primary tool for tracking disease progression over the commonly used SW-AF, given the increased patient comfort and cooperation during imaging.
