New clinical ultrahigh-resolution SD-OCT using A-scan matching algorithm.
Article in Graefe's archive for clinical and experimental ophthalmology = Albrecht von Graefes Archiv fur klinische und experimentelle Ophthalmologie, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeA new clinical ultrahigh-resolution spectral domain optical coherence tomography (UHR-SD-OCT) system using an original averaging technique named "A-scan matching algorithm" was developed. The aim of this study was to determine whether our new UHR-SD-OCT system can obtain clearer sectional images of the retina than conventional standard resolution SD-OCT systems (SR-SD-OCT).
methodsWe recorded horizontal B-scan images of 42 normal eyes using our new UHR-SD-OCT device (Bi-μ, Kowa) and a conventional SR-SD-OCT (Spectralis, Heidelberg). To evaluate the clarity of the interdigitation zone (IZ) subjectively, the integrity of IZ was divided into three types by two raters. To evaluate the clarity of the IZ objectively, a peak height score (PHS) was calculated at five different points of the macula using the longitudinal reflectivity profile.
resultsThe mean (± SD) of the subjective visibility score of the IZ in the UHR-SD-OCT images was 2.64 ± 0.54 which was significantly higher than the 2.46 ± 0.46 in the SR-SD-OCT images (P = 0.02). The PHS was also significantly higher for the UHR-SD-OCT than for the SR-SD-OCT images at all five locations (all P < 0.01).
conclusionThe results indicate that the newly developed clinical UHR-SD-OCT instrument using the A-scan matching algorithm can obtain clearer images of the IZ, and they suggest that this device should be clinically useful in detecting finer structural abnormalities of the outer retina.
