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

Purpose: We recently reported on the usefulness of retinal artery trajectory in estimating the magnitude of retinal stretch due to myopia. The purpose of the present study was to elucidate the relationship between the peripapillary retinal artery angle (PRAA) and thickness of the macular ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GCIPL). Methods: This r included 138 healthy eyes of 79 subjects older than 20 years of age without any known eye disease. GCIPL thickness was separated into eight sectors according to quadrant and eccentricity from the fovea. The PRAA was calculated as the angle between the superior and inferior retinal arteries. Relationships between whole GCIPL thickness (average and sectorial) and the values of PRAA and axial length (AL) were investigated using a linear mixed model. Results: Average GCIPL thickness in the whole scanned area decreased significantly with narrowing of the PRAA with and without adjusting for AL. Sectorized macular GCIPL thickness also decreased significantly, with narrowing of the PRAA in seven out of the eight with the adjustment of AL, the exception being the inferior peripheral temporal sector. Conclusions: Macular GCIPL thickness decreased significantly with narrowing of the PRAA on average and in seven out of eight sectors.
