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 purpose of this study was to analyze the correlation of renal function indices with sub-foveal choroidal thickness (SFChT) in treatment-naïve (naïve) eyes with retinal vein occlusion (RVO) using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) and systemic workup. Retrospective chart review was performed from Dec 2016 to Sep 2019 in patients newly diagnosed with treatment-naïve unilateral RVO. Ocular parameters, including SFChT, and systemic profiles, including renal function indices, were reviewed. Simple and multiple linear regression analyses were performed to check if there was a correlation between renal profiles and SFChT. A total of 56 patients were included in the study; 34 of them were branch RVO and 22 were central RVO patients. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that SFChT was positively correlated with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (P < 0.001). SFChT showed significant correlation with renal function indices. In addition, choroidal thickness may be considered as systemic biomarkers for renal function.
