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 assess whether retinal thickness measurements with a standard 30° spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) are comparable with wide-field 55° SD-OCT.

methodsThirty-three healthy individuals were scanned using 55° as well as 30° SD-OCT according to a standardized protocol. Automated retinal layer segmentation of standard and wide-field SD-OCTs was assessed using customized software.

resultsBoth lenses showed a high correlation when analyzing total retinal thickness within the central, the inner, and the outer retinal ring (r = > 0.9). Automated thickness measurements with the 55° system were marginally higher compared with the 30° lens. The thickness of each separate retinal layer using automated segmentation showed excellent correlations within the inner and outer rings (range: r = 0.6-r = 0.9 for the inner ring and range: r = 0.9-r = 1.0 for the outer ring).

conclusionFifty-five degree wide-field SD-OCT provides a good overview of the posterior pole and presents similar quantitative values as a standard 30° OCT lens. Therefore, thickness values are comparable when switching between these two lenses.
