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 create hybrid three-dimensional (3D) models of the choroidal vasculature from swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) angiography images and to evaluate the model's characteristics.

methodsThis study used prospective, noncomparative case series, including 21 eyes of 21 healthy individuals. The 6 × 6-mm macular area was imaged repeatedly to obtain two cube image sets. Images from structural OCT (OCT-S) and OCT angiography (OCT-A) were exported. After vessel-like structures segmentation from the inverted black and white OCT-S images and the OCT-A images, both types of images were reconstructed in a 3D model. The volumes of the outer choroid and the choroidal vessels were measured after thresholding. The similarities of the segmented choroidal vessels (between OCT-S and OCT-A) and between repeatedly acquired images were measured.

resultsMean vessel volume was 2.227 mm

conclusionsHybrid 3D vascular models of the choroidal vasculature were reconstructed from OCT-S and OCT-A. The new models should prove useful for volumetric analysis of the choroid. TRANSLATIONAL RELEVANCE: Hybrid 3D models of the choroidal vasculature enable volumetric analysis and facilitate morphologic evaluation.
