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 correlate dark adaptation course with foveal morphologic alterations in preterm and term-born children using a modified fundus-controlled perimeter and spectral domain-optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) imaging.

methodsWe performed fundus-controlled chromatic dark adaptometry in premature children aged 6 to 13 years without retinopathy of prematurity (no-ROP;

resultsChildren with MDA showed a flatter dark adaptation course progression with a significant rod-mediated sensitivity recovery delay (0.0113 vs. 0.0253 dB/s;

conclusionsChanges in dark adaptation were seen in the presence of MDA observed in premature children in the no-ROP and sr-ROP groups. MDA in former premature children is associated with functional deficits of cone and rod photoreceptor visual pathways. TRANSLATIONAL RELEVANCE: Morphologic alterations in the central retina of premature children, evident in SD-OCT, are associated with long-term functional deficits in the rod and cone pathways, particularly evident in the rod dark adaptation course measured at 12° eccentricity. This indicates a more widespread retinal functional pathology not limited to the fovea, but occurring together with foveal alterations best defined as MDA.
