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

An adaptive optics fundus camera has been developed that uses simultaneous capture of multiple images via adjacent pupil sectors to provide directional sensitivity. In the chosen realization, a shallow refractive pyramid prism is used to subdivide backscattered light from the retina into four solid angles. Parafoveal fundus images have been captured for the eyes of three healthy subjects and directional scattering has been determined using horizontal and vertical differentials. The results for the photoreceptor cones, blood vessels, and the optic disc are discussed. In the case of cones, the observations are compared with numerical simulations based on a simplistic light-scattering model. Ultimately, the method may have diagnostic potential for diseases that perturb the microscopic structure of the retina.
