Optical coherence tomography angiography image quality assessment at varying retinal expertise levels.
Article in Journal of current ophthalmology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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 compare optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) image quality gradings performed by readers of varying retinal expertise levels in different retinal diseases.
methodsCentral 3 × 3 mm
resultsRegarding MAS, inter-reader agreement between SE and OR was 93.7% (Cohen's kappa = 0.907) and 85.4% (Cohen's kappa = 0.786) between SE and MD. Regarding SAS, inter-reader agreement between SE and OR was 95.1% (Cohen's kappa = 0.92) and 92.2% (Cohen's kappa = 0.874) between SE and MD. In the SAS analysis, signal strength index (SSI) and presence of retinal pathology had a significant influence on the overall agreement (
conclusionsOCT-A image quality assessment can be performed most reliably by an ophthalmologist with knowledge in retinal image analysis. Yet, well-instructed non-ophthalmologic assessors show only slightly inferior results and, thus, may be integrated in routine OCT-A image quality assessment as well.
