Comparison of Zeiss Cirrus and Optovue RTVue OCT Angiography Systems: A Quantitative and Qualitative Approach Examining the Three Capillary Networks in Diabetic Retinopathy.
Observational study in Ophthalmic surgery, lasers & imaging retina, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesConstruct a method for visualizing the middle capillary plexus (MCP) using Zeiss optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) and compare to established segmentation methods using the Optovue system. PATIENTS AND
methodsTwenty eyes with diabetic retinopathy were imaged. Visualization of the MCP, image artifacts, preservation of pathological changes, foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area, and vessel length density (VLD) were compared between devices.
resultsThe authors successfully segmented the superficial (SCP), MCP, and deep (DCP) capillary plexuses on both devices. More images artifacts were detected on Optovue. Microaneurysms and telangiectatic vessels were better visualized in the MCP on the Optovue. FAZ area showed a strong correlation between the two instruments (r
conclusionThe authors provide an objective and consistent method for manual segmentation using Zeiss OCTA to visualize the three retinal capillary plexuses. [Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina. 2018;49:e198-e205.].
