Wide-field choroidal thickness in myopes and emmetropes.
Article in Scientific reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 57 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
There is a paucity of knowledge regarding the normal in-vivo thickness of the choroid beyond the macula (~17°). In this study, the choroidal thickness of 27 healthy young adults was examined across the macular (the central 5 mm including the fovea, parafovea, and perifovea) and extra-macular (a 5-14 mm annulus including the near-periphery and periphery) regions using wide-field optical coherence tomography, and compared between emmetropes (n = 14) and myopes (n = 13). The choroid progressively thinned beyond the parafovea (350 ± 86 µm) towards the periphery (264 ± 44 µm), and was thickest superiorly (355 ± 76 µm) and thinnest nasally (290 ± 79 µm). Choroidal thickness also varied with refractive error; myopes exhibited a thinner choroid than emmetropes in the macular region (311 ± 88 vs. 383 ± 66 µm), however, this difference diminished towards the periphery (251 ± 48 vs. 277 ± 37 µm). Meridional variations in choroidal thickness were not different between myopes and emmetropes. In conclusion, the choroid was thickest within the perifovea; thinned substantially towards the periphery, and exhibited the minimum and maximum peripheral thinning superiorly and nasally across a 55° region respectively. Choroidal thinning associated with myopia was more pronounced in the macular than extra-macular regions.
