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

Laser speckle flowgraphy (LSFG) is a noninvasive technique that can measure relative blood flow velocity in the optic fundus contributed by the ophthalmic artery, the main first branch originating from the internal carotid artery (ICA). The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of ocular blood flow measurement by LSFG to detect ischemic stress due to carotid clamping during carotid endarterectomy (CEA). Nineteen patients undergoing CEA with ocular blood flow measurement by LSFG and intraoperative monitoring (IOM) were prospectively enrolled between August 2016 and March 2019. The mean blur rate (MBR) of ocular blood flow by LSFG, representing relative blood flow of the branch of the retinal artery originating from the optic nerve head, was compared between before and after carotid clamping during CEA. The correlation between the reduction ratio of MBR and the regional saturation oxygen (rSO
