Quantitative Analysis of the Choriocapillaris in Uveitis Using En Face Swept-Source Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography.
Article in American journal of ophthalmology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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
purposeTo perform a quantitative analysis of choriocapillaris (CC) flow deficits (FDs) in patients with uveitis.
designRetrospective cross-sectional study.
methodsSwept-source optical coherence tomography based angiography (SS-OCTA) macular volume scans (3 × 3 mm and 6 × 6 mm) were obtained using the Plex Elite 9000. En face CC images were generated and analyzed using an automated FD identification algorithm. Three quantitative metrics were determined for each eye: FD number (FDN), mean FD size (MFDS), and FD density (FDD). Quantitative metrics were compared between uveitis and control eyes. The uveitis cohort was further subdivided by the presence or absence of choroidal involvement, and quantitative metrics were compared between subgroups and normal control subjects.
resultsA total of 38 eyes from 38 control subjects and 73 eyes from 73 uveitis subjects were included in this study. Eyes with uveitis have significantly larger CC MFDS (3- × 3-mm scans; P < .0001; 6- × 6-mm scans; P < .0001) and higher FDD (P = .0002; P = .0076, respectively) compared to control eyes. Additional analysis determined that these differences were due to the choroidal disease subgroup, which demonstrates significantly larger MFDS (3 × 3 = 1,108 μm
conclusionsAutomated quantification of CC can identify pathological FDs and provide quantitative metrics describing such lesions in patients with uveitis. Posterior uveitis patients have significantly larger CC FDs than patients with other forms of uveitis.
