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 evaluate the ultrawide field fundus fluorescein angiography (UWFA) characteristics of rhegmatogenous retinal detachments (RRDs) and compare the findings with an early treatment diabetic retinopathy study (ETDRS) 7 field (ETDRS7F) overlay.

methodsUWFA (Optos, PLC, Dunfermline, UK) was performed in 10 eyes with macula-off RRDs in 9 patients. The findings of UWFA were compared with that of an overlay of standard ETDRS7F.

resultsVascular dilation, tortuosity of vessels, and blockage of choroidal fluorescence were noted in all eyes in both UWFA and ETDRS7F overlay. Other findings in UWFA and ETDRS7F included peripheral perivascular staining (10 versus 4 eyes), peripheral capillary nonperfusion (CNP) (9 eyes compared to none), vascular loop formation (7 eyes versus none), optic disc hyperfluorescence (5 eyes in both), petaloid leak at macula (2 eyes in both), and neovascularization elsewhere (3 eyes versus none).

conclusionsPeripheral perivascular staining and leak, CNP, and vascular tortuosity are common UWFA features of RRDs. Standard ETDRS7F missed peripheral CNP, peripheral vascular loops, and peripheral retinal new vessels in all eyes compared to UWFA in the current study.
