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
purposeThis study aims to describe the variation and characteristics of vessel density (VD) of the macula and optic disc in the normal eyes of children.
methodsThis was a retrospective study where subjects aged 5-18 years with normal eyes were enrolled. The macula and optic disc were scanned by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). The influences of age, gender, and axial length (AL) on VD were analyzed.
resultsA total of 71 normal eyes from 71 subjects were enrolled. For the macula, the mean VD of fovea, parafovea, and perifovea at superficial retina and deep retina were 20.1%, 50.2%, 49.4%, 36.1%, 53.9%, and 48.1%, respectively. The mean foveal avascular zone (FAZ) was 0.277 mm
conclusionsThe parafovea VD of the superficial retina, parafovea, and perifovea of the deep retina had superior-hemi VD; boys had a higher fovea VD and smaller FAZ area than those of girls, the macular VD and peripapillary RPC density were steady for 5-18 year-olds. This study provided useful information for furthering the understanding of the development mode of vessel in children and the OCTA clinical applications in children.
