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 evaluate macular shape in normal eyes using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT). STUDY

designRetrospective cross-sectional study.

methodsWe retrospectively evaluated 77 normal eyes of 48 subjects. Curvature of retinal pitment epithelium (RPE) and choroid/scleral interface (CSI) was measured in vertical and horizontal SS-OCT 16-mm scanned images. After correcting the optical distortion of OCT images, curvatures of superior, central, and inferior sectors in the vertical scan, and temporal, central, and nasal sectors in the horizontal scan (each 4-mm length) were compared. Factors associated with overall RPE and CSI curvatures were investigated.

resultsRPE and CSI curvatures of superior, central, and inferior sectors in the vertical scan were 16.6±3.1, 13.8±2.1, 17.7±3.2 and 17.8±3.0, 13.8±3.3, 18.4±3.3 (×10
