Repeatability of quantitative measurements of retinal layers with SD-OCT and agreement between vertical and horizontal scan protocols in healthy eyes.
Article in PloS one, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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 repeatability of the new spectral domain optical coherence tomography (HOCT-1F), and also to evaluate the agreement between vertical and horizontal scan protocols. In addition, we also evaluated the relation between the repeatability and age.
methodsThree consecutive measurements of the inner limiting membrane-retinal pigment epithelium (ILM-RPE), inner limiting membrane-inner plexiform layer (ILM-IPL) from macular horizontal and vertical scans, and inner limiting membrane-retinal nerve fiber layer (ILM-RNFL) from optic disc horizontal scan. 159 subjects were included in the analysis. The within subject standard deviation (Sw) and the repeatability limits (Rlimit) are used to represent the repeatability of the parameters for the different sectors.
resultsThe Sw for the ILM-RPE thickness was less than 3.5 μm for each sector and scan direction. The Sw values varied within the sectors and scan modes, with horizontal scan modes resulting in better values for the horizontal sectors, and vice versa. The Sw for the GCL-IPL thickness was less than 2 μm, and was similar between the vertical and horizontal scan modes for each sector map. For the optic disc scan, the Sw was not symmetric along the clock-hour map sectors, the largest Sw values were seen in the vertical sectors (8.6 μm). The mean difference between the vertical and horizontal scans was less than 2 μm for each retinal thickness sector map. Significant but weak correlation between the Sw and the subject's age was seen in both macular and optic disc scans.
conclusionsThe repeatability of the HOCT-1F to measure the ILM-RPE-, ILM-IPL- and ILM-RNFL-thickness is good. The repeatability of the ILM-RPE thickness is dependent on the scan direction, which should be taken into account when calculating retinal thickness. There is a weak correlation between the repeatability and the subject's age.
