Investigating Ganglion Cell Complex Thickness in Children with Chronic Heart Failure due to Dilated Cardiomyopathy.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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 assess ganglion cell complex (GCC) thickness in children with chronic heart failure (CHF) due to dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) using optical coherence tomography (OCT).
methodsSixty eyes of 30 patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) due to dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and 60 eyes of 30 age- and sex-matched healthy volunteers (control group) were enrolled. The mean age of the patients and controls was 9.9 ± 3.57 (range 5-17) years and 10.08 ± 3.41 (range 4-16) years, respectively. All patients underwent a complete ophthalmic assessment and OCT imaging using RTVue XR Avanti (Optovue). The following OCT-based parameters were analysed: average ganglion cell complex thickness (avgGCC), superior ganglion cell complex thickness (supGCC), inferior ganglion cell complex thickness (infGCC), global loss of volume (GLV) and focal loss of volume (FLV).
resultsThere were no significant differences in avgGCC (98.13 μm vs. 99.96 μm,
conclusionOur study seems to be the first to analyse ganglion cell complex in paediatric patients with dilated cardiomyopathy. We have demonstrated no changes in the ganglion cell complex thickness parameters in children with chronic heart failure due dilated cardiomyopathy, as compared to their healthy peers.
