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

The main objective of the study was to analyze deviations in retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness measurements caused by the displacement of circular optic disc optical coherence tomography scans. High-density radial scans of the optic nerve heads of cynomolgus monkeys were acquired. The retinal nerve fiber layer was manually segmented, and a surface plot of the discrete coordinates was generated. From this plot, the RNFL thicknesses were calculated and compared between accurately centered and intentionally displaced circle scans. Circle scan displacement caused circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness deviations of increasing magnitude with increasing center offset. As opposed to the human eye, horizontal displacement resulted in larger RNFL thickness deviations than vertical displacement in cynomolgus monkeys. Acquisition of high-density radial scans allowed for the mathematical reconstruction and modelling of the nerve fiber layer and extrapolation of its thickness. Accurate and strictly repeatable circle scan placement is critical to obtain reproducible values, which is essential for longitudinal studies.
