Accurate estimation of choriocapillaris flow deficits beyond normal intercapillary spacing with swept source OCT angiography.
Article in Quantitative imaging in medicine and surgery, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 61 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
backgroundTo estimate choriocapillaris flow deficits beyond normal intercapillary distance with swept source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA).
methodsSubjects were enrolled and repeated SS-OCTA scans were performed using the 3 mm × 3 mm scan pattern. Blood flow was identified using the complex optical microangiography (OMAG
resultsSeven normal subjects were enrolled. Intercapillary distance was found to be 24 µm for the CC networks under OCTA, which was used as the threshold to exclude small flow deficits for CC quantification. After averaging, significant reduction in background noise and improvement in continuity of blood vessel networks were observed both on retinal and choriocapillaris angiograms. Flow deficit percentages of the choriocapillaris were significantly reduced with averaging (group 1
conclusionsA method was developed to improve the robust estimation of choriocapillaris flow deficits by removing the small flow deficits corresponding to normal intercapillary spacing. After the removal of small flow deficits, fewer repeats were required for image averaging to achieve comparable accuracy of flow deficit measurements with SS-OCTA.
