Macular microvascular parameters in the ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer derived by optical coherence tomography angiography: Vascular structure-central visual function analysis.
Article in PloS one, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 investigate the relationships between global and sectoral macular vascular microcirculation parameters in the ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) assessed by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA), and global and sectoral visual field (VF) central mean sensitivity (CMS) assessed by standard automated perimetry.
methodsFifty-four eyes with open angle glaucoma were scanned using a swept-source OCTA (Plex Elite 9000, Zeiss, Dublin, CA) and macular vascular microcirculation was measured by calculating the overall flux and vessel area density (VAD) over the entire 6mm x 6mm area, excluding large retinal vessels. Central 10-degree VF CMS was calculated based on 24-2 VF. Pearson correlation was used to investigate the correlation between global and sectoral OCTA parameters and global and sectoral VF CMS.
resultsBoth global GCIPL flux and VAD were significantly correlated with VF CMS (p<0.001). For the sectoral analysis, sectoral VAD was significantly correlated with sectoral VF CMS in all comparisons except for the inferonasal VF CMS with supero-temporal (ST) GCIPL VAD (p = 0.097). Although highest correlation was observed for both ST VF CMS with inferior GCIPL VAD and infero-temporal VF CMS with superior GCIPL VAD (r = 0.683, p<0.001), there was no significant difference in correlation when compared to the global VAD and other sectors' correlation coefficients (p≥ 0.091), except for the ST GCIPL VAD (p = 0.001).
conclusionsGlobal and sectoral macular vascular microcirculation in the GCIPL, as determined by OCTA, was significantly correlated with global and sectoral VF CMS in glaucomatous patients. OCTA can aid in the understanding of the structure-function relationships of the macular region.
