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

purposeTo describe the foveal characteristics of children with a history of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).

methodsAll eyes were examined by OCTA (RTVue AVANTI, Optovue Inc, Fremont, CA) with a scan of 3 × 3 mm cantered on the fovea. The size of the foveal avascular zone (FAZ), central retinal thickness (CRT), and foveal bulge were measured.

resultsForty-eight eyes of 26 children with a history of ROP and a mean age of 8.8 years with a range of 4-16 years (ROP group) were studied. Sixty-six eyes of 36 children without any fundus abnormalities and with an average age of 10.5 years and a range of 3-17 years (control group) were studied as controls. The mean FAZ area in the ROP group was 0.18 mm

conclusionsThe FAZ is smaller in ex-preterm children with a history of ROP (including laser treatment for ROP) than in children who were not premature.
