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

Inherent distortions affect the spatial geometry of optical coherence tomography (OCT) images and consequently the foveal pit dimensions. Distortion correction provides an accurate anatomical representation of the retinal shape. A novel approach that automatically extracts foveal pit metrics from distortion-corrected OCT images using a sum of Gaussian function is presented. Foveal width, depth and slope were determined in 292 eyes with low fitting errors and high repeatability. Comparisons to undistorted scans revealed significant differences. To conclude, the internal OCT distortions affect the measurements of the foveal pit with their correction providing further insights into the role of foveal morphology in retinal pathologies and refractive development.
