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

The results of 1-year follow-up with optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) of 3 patients with macular telangiectasia type 2 (MacTel 2) were evaluated. The 3X3 mm OCTA imaging was performed in January 2017 and February 2018. The superficial and deep capillary plexus vascular density changes of the whole area, the parafoveal temporal and parafoveal nasal areas were examined. The mean whole, parafoveal temporal, and parafoveal nasal vessel densities at superficial capillary plexus were 51.31, 50.39, 54.57 at baseline and 49.93, 46.79, 51.83 at 1-year follow-up, respectively. The mean whole, parafoveal temporal and parafoveal nasal vessel densities at deep capillary plexus were 59.06, 59.05, 63.39 at baseline and 52.18, 54.68, 57.9 at 1-year follow-up, respectively. In this case series, it was shown quantitatively that vessel densities of MacTel2 patients markedly decreased over time, more pronounced in the deep capillary plexus.
