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 macular capillary system and ganglion cell-layer complex of the amblyopic eye with OCTA and OCT in comparison with fellow non-amblyopic eyes and a healthy control group and to examine their relationship with the severity of amblyopia.
methodsThis prospective, cross-sectional comparative study enrolled 25 amblyopic patients and 25 healthy controls. All patients and controls underwent OCTA and OCT imagining. Macular vessel densities of the Superficial Capillary Plexus (SCP) and Deep Capillary Plexus (DCP) and retinal thickness were measured by OCTA and ganglion cell layer (GCL) by OCT.
resultsSCP density at the fovea and parafovea was significantly lower in amblyopic eyes than in fellow eyes and control group. DCP density at the fovea was significantly lower in amblyopic eyes than fellow eyes and control group. Mean GCL thickness on OCT was 0.73 ± 0.07 μm in amblyopic eyes, 0.75 ± 0.06 μm in fellow eyes and 0.77 ± 0.06 μm in the control group. GCL volume was significantly lower in amblyopic eyes than the fellow eyes. The SCP and DCP and GCL thickness were not affected by the severity of amblyopia.
conclusionMacular vessel densities of the SCP and DCP of eyes with amblyopia is lower compared to the fellow non-amblyopic eyes and the control group. The thickness of GCL was lower in amblyopic eyes than fellow eyes while the severity of amblyopia did not have any impact on these structures. Microvascular retinal structures may have been affected in the course of amblyopia development.
