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

Fundus autofluorescence (FAF) imaging is crucial to the diagnosis and monitoring of recessive Stargardt disease (STGD1). In a retrospective cohort study of 34 patients, we compared FAF imaging platforms varying in field size (30° and 55°: blue/SW-AF and NIR-AF; 200°: ultrawide-field, UWF-AF), excitation wavelength (488 nm, blue/SW-AF; 532 nm, UWF-AF and 787 nm, NIR-AF) and image processing. Due to reduced absorption of 532 nm and 787 nm light by macular pigment, foveal sparing was more readily demonstrable by green/UWF-AF and NIR-AF imaging. Prominent in green/UWF-AF images is a central zone of relatively elevated AF that is continuous inferonasal with a demarcation line bordering lower AF nasally and higher AF temporally. This zone and border are more visible in STGD1 than in healthy eyes and more visible with green/UWF-AF. With the development of AF flecks, inferonasal retina is initially spared. Central atrophic areas were larger in NIR-AF images than in blue/SW-AF and green/UWF-AF images and the presence of a contiguous hyperAF ring varied with imaging modality. Flecks visible as hyperAF foci in blue/SW-AF images were also visible in green/UWF-AF but were often hypoAF in NIR-AF. Since disease in STGD1 often extends beyond the 30° and 55° fields, green/UWF-AF has advantages including for pediatric patients. The imaging platforms examined provided complementary information.
