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

objectiveTo determine normal macular thickness values in a healthy Mexican population and its variation by age and gender using Huvitz spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (HOCT-1F).

methodsThis cross-sectional study included 211 consecutive eyes from clinically normal subjects (66 men, 145 women) between October 2018 and December 2018, with best-corrected visual acuities better than 20/30. One eye was selected for the macular scan using the Huvitz OCT (Huvitz OCT-1F, HOCT-1F, Huvitz Co., Ltd., Republic of Korea) with an automated segmentation algorithm. Three vertical and horizontal scans, centered on the fovea with an area of 9 mm, and a color 45° fundus photograph were obtained using Huvitz OCT-1F. Macular measurements were presented as means with standard deviations values for each of the nine regions defined by the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS).

resultsThe mean age was 34.3±11.9 years. Using the ETDRS map, the mean central subfield thickness (CST) was 227.4±18.9 µm. Male gender was associated with greater CST (

conclusionNormal macular thickness values using the Huvitz OCT in a Mexican healthy population aged from 18-70 years were thinner in the foveal macular region than values reported in other populations. Female patients had a thinner CST, and age was not correlated with macular thickness.
