A Novel Approach to Quantitative Evaluation of Outer Retinal Lesions Via a New Parameter "Integral" in Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography.
Article in Translational vision science & technology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to design a new parameter "integral" to quantitatively evaluate the spatial cumulative reflectivity of the outer retinal layers in optical coherence tomography (OCT), and to investigate its role in the detection of outer retinal diseases. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. Fovea-centered line OCT scans were performed on 60 eyes of 60 healthy volunteers and 44 eyes of 44 patients diagnosed with outer retinal diseases. The integrals of the ellipsoid zone (EZ) and interdigitation zone (IZ) were measured by respectively accumulating the grayscale values of all the pixels within the EZ and IZ at specified locations on the scanning lines, and were then adjusted by calculating their percentages on the outer retina. The integrals of the EZ and IZ were compared between the two groups. Results: The integrals of the EZ and IZ were stably and normally distributed in the healthy eyes, and were significantly lower in eyes with outer retinal lesions than in healthy ones ( Conclusions: Obtained from this novel quantification method, the new parameter integral was comparable between different individuals and had the potential to detect outer retinal abnormalities in reflectivity through OCT. Translational Relevance: Our work verified the feasibility of the new image analysis technique in the detection of the diseases affecting the outer retina.
