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: To provide a detailed characterization of choroideremia (CHM) using fluorescence lifetime imaging ophthalmoscopy (FLIO) and to provide a deeper understanding of disease-related changes and progression. Methods: Twenty-eight eyes of 14 patients with genetically confirmed CHM (mean age, 28 ± 14 years) and 14 age-matched healthy subjects were investigated in this study. FLIO images of a 30° retinal field were collected at the Moran Eye Center using a Heidelberg Engineering FLIO device. FLIO lifetimes were recorded in short spectral channels (SSC; 498-560 nm) and long spectral channels (LSC; 560-720 nm), and mean autofluorescence lifetimes (τ Results: Patients with CHM exhibit specific FLIO lifetime patterns. Prolonged FLIO lifetimes (around 600-700 ps) were found in the peripheral macula corresponding to atrophy in OCT imaging. In the central macula, τ Conclusions: FLIO shows distinct patterns in patients with CHM, indicating lesions of atrophy and areas of preserved function in the presence or absence of findings in fundus autofluorescence intensity images. FLIO may provide differentiated knowledge about pathophysiology and atrophy progression in CHM compared to conventional imaging modalities. Translational Relevance: FLIO shows distinctive lifetime patterns that potentially identify areas of function, atrophy, and disease progression in patients with CHM.
