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

This is a comprehensive review of the principles and applications of adaptive optics (AO) in ophthalmology. It has been combined with flood illumination ophthalmoscopy, scanning laser ophthalmoscopy, as well as optical coherence tomography to image photoreceptors, retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), retinal ganglion cells, lamina cribrosa and the retinal vasculature. In this review, we highlight the clinical studies that have utilised AO to understand disease mechanisms. However, there are some limitations to using AO in a clinical setting including the cost of running an AO imaging service, the time needed to scan patients, the lack of normative databases and the very small size of area imaged. However, it is undoubtedly an exceptional research tool that enables visualisation of the retina at a cellular level.
