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

aimTo compare the sensitivity of Optomap Panoramic 200 and Clarus 500 in detecting peripheral retinal breaks that required treatment.

methodsThis prospective study enrolled consecutive patients undergoing laser for treatment-requiring peripheral retinal breaks from May 2019 to July 2019. The patients first underwent indirect ophthalmoscopy examination with scleral indentation by a retinal consultant and then ultra-widefield imaging by a single trained technician on Optomap 200 and Clarus 500 in all nine ocular gazes. The images were analysed by two independent investigators to look for the number and location of the breaks. The sensitivity of each platform was calculated as the number of treatment-requiring breaks identified by the system divided by the number of breaks identified on clinical examination.

resultsClinical examination of 49 eyes (41 patients) showed 116 treatment-requiring breaks. Overall sensitivity for identifying such breaks for Optomap and Clarus was 80.2% (n = 93) and 74.1% (n = 86) respectively (p = 0.274). The sensitivities in superior (p = 0.665), temporal (p = 0.146) and inferior (p = 0.889) quadrants were statistically similar for both the platforms. The sensitivity of Optomap was slightly higher than Clarus in emmetropic (p = 0.046) and phakic (p = 0.061) eyes, but similar in myopic (p = 0.448) and pseudophakic (p = 0.191) eyes.

conclusionThe ability to detect treatment-requiring retinal breaks is similar for both Optomap and Clarus systems.
