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 effect of adenoidectomy on the brains of children with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAS) through observation of the alteration of retinal perfusion by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).

methodsSixty-two children with OSAS (124 eyes; 5.94 ± 1.64 years old; 53.2% boys) were enrolled in this study. Their retinal vascular network density indices, including vascular diameter (VD), vascular area density (VAD), vessel skeleton density (VSD), vessel perimeter index (VPI) on the macular superficial/deep capillary plexus (SCP/DCP), and the size of the foveal avascular zone (FAZ) were analyzed by OCTA before treatment and at 1 month after the adenoidectomy.

resultsAfter the adenoidectomy, the values of VD, VAD, VSD, and VPI in the SCP/DCP of the parafovea were significantly increased (p < 0.01). The FAZ was significantly diminished in the SCP (t = 4.50, p < 0.05) and increased in the DCP (t = - 4.43, p < 0.05). The peripapillary indices in the SCP/DCP were not significantly changed (p > 0.05).

conclusionBy improvement of hypoxia, the response of the parafoveal vessels was more sensitive than that of the peripapillary region in children with OSAS. Therefore, OCTA may be an ideal method to evaluate the changes of the retinal vascular system, which could be an effective parameter for the early evaluation of adenoidectomy on cases of pediatric OSAS.
