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

purposeWe observed cone photoreceptors by using adaptive optics (AO) fundus camera and optical coherence tomography (OCT) in patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and examined the correlations between cone photoreceptors and visual function over 2 years.

methodsSix patients with RP were studied. All patients underwent measurement using best-corrected decimal visual acuity, OCT, a Humphrey Field Analyzer with the 10-2 test grid pattern, and AO. AO images of the foveal center were obtained using an rtx1™ AO fundus camera, and cone counting was performed at 0.5 mm from the foveal center.

resultsAO detected a decrease of cone density over 2 years in RP patients. However, visual acuity, foveal sensitivity, and photoreceptor thickness were not changed over the 2 years.

conclusionsAO images showed a decrease in the number of foveal cone densities over 2 years in patients with RP. AO may shorten the period required to predict the RP progression rate.
