Foveal and parafoveal choroidal thickness pattern measuring by swept source optical coherence tomography.
Article in Eye (London, England), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
objectiveTo evaluate the choroidal thickness (CT) in foveal and parafoveal regions in Thai adults using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT).
methodsWe enrolled healthy volunteers ≥18 years of age from King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Thailand, during September 2015 to March 2016. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) of the macula was performed, and subfoveal CT was measured manually using a line scan. Average thicknesses of retinal and choroidal layers in regions of the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study grid were measured automatically. A multivariate analysis was conducted to determine correlations between CTs in the foveal and parafoveal regions and retinal layers.
resultsAltogether, 144 eyes from 144 subjects (29 men, 115 women; mean age 41 years) were studied. The mean foveal CT was 282.4 ± 13.8 µm. It was thicker in the temporal fovea than in the nasal fovea (p < 0.001) and thicker in men than in women. Multivariate analysis showed that age and sex were significantly negatively correlated with the thickness of the retina, ganglion cell layer, outer retinal layer, and choroid but not of the nerve fiber layer. Regression analysis revealed that the CT decreased approximately 1.5 μm per year.
conclusionsAge and sex significantly influence choroidal thickness. Macular CT in a healthy eye thins with age. CT decreases with age faster at distances away from the foveal center than at the center. Subfoveal CT was greater than the mean CT. Parafoveal CT should be evaluated to identify specific retinal-choroidal disease.
