Article in Graefe's archive for clinical and experimental ophthalmology = Albrecht von Graefes Archiv fur klinische und experimentelle Ophthalmologie, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
purposeTo evaluate the new method to quantitate the running pattern of the vessels in Haller's layer in en face optical coherence tomographic (OCT) images using the new algorithm.
methodsA retrospective and cross-sectional study. The en face image of top 25% slab of Haller's layer was analyzed. The vascular area in these images was calculated after binarization. Then, the vessels were thinned, and the total length of the vessels and the mean vessel diameter were calculated. Based on the angle of vessel running, "natural oblique vessel" was defined. The ratio of the natural oblique vessel to the whole vessels was defined as the "symmetry index". To examine the reproducibility of the software, the images obtained on two different examination dates of the same subject (25 eyes of 25 healthy subjects) were analyzed. Also, to compare the symmetry index and subjective evaluations, 180 eyes and 180 healthy subjects were analyzed. The subjective evaluations classified the images into 3 groups, the Symmetrical, Semi-symmetrical, and Asymmetrical types. Symmetry index was compared in each group.
resultsThe inter-measurement correlation coefficient (ICC) of the vessel area, vessel length, and vessel diameter were 0.955, 0.934, and 0.954, respectively. The ICC of the symmetry index was 0.926. The symmetry index of the Symmetrical type was 60.4 ± 7.2%, that of the Semi-symmetry type was 56.2 ± 4.6%, and that of the Asymmetry type was 52.6 ± 5.2%.
conclusionsThe present algorithm can analyze vessels in Haller's layer of the en face images of choroid in an objective manner with good repeatability.
