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

backgroundTo assess the effect of pan-retinal photocoagulation (PRP) on choroidal vascular parameters in eyes with advanced diabetic retinopathy (DR).

methodsForty patients (65 eyes) with severe nonproliferative DR or proliferative DR who underwent PRP were included. Changes in choroidal vascular parameters were assessed at 3, 6, and 12 months after PRP by using swept-source optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography and were compared with baseline values.

resultsChoroidal vascularity index (CVI) significantly decreased from 66.27% ± 1.55% at baseline to 65.85% ± 1.61%, 65.77% ± 1.29%, and 65.74% ± 1.60% at 3, 6, and 12 months after PRP, respectively. The ratio of luminal area to stromal area (L/S ratio) also significantly decreased from 1.98 ± 0.15 at baseline to 1.94 ± 0.14, 1.95 ± 0.13, and 1.93 ± 0.14 at 3, 6, and 12 months after PRP, respectively. The subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) similarly showed a significant decrease from 319.50 ± 56.64 μm at baseline to 299. 07 ± 51.14 μm, 294.70 ± 58.96 μm, and 280.93 ± 53.57 μm at 3, 6, and 12 months after PRP, respectively. However, the choriocapillaris vessel density in both the fovea and parafovea showed no significant differences following PRP.

conclusionEyes with advanced DR showed a significant reduction in CVI, L/S ratio, and SFCT over 12 months after PRP treatment.
