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 report a novel finding of peripheral retinal avascularity (PRA) and peripheral capillary leakage (PCL) on wide-field fluorescein angiography (WFA) in non-dependent quadrants, in eyes with bilateral chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR).

methodsForty six patients with bilateral CSCR were studied. Four patients had PRA and PCL, and 42 patients did not. The demographic profile, clinical findings, and imaging characteristics of the two groups were compared.

resultsThere was no significant difference between those patients with and without PRA and PCL with respect to the demographic profile, clinical findings, and imaging characteristics. Laser photocoagulation to extrafoveal points of leakage seen on fluorescein angiography (FA) was sufficient to cause complete resolution of CSCR in these 4 patients. PRA areas were not treated.

conclusionThe PRA and PCL in CSCR are novel findings, which have not been previously described.
