Optical coherence tomography angiography distortion correction in widefield montage images.
Article in Quantitative imaging in medicine and surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundOptical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging is inherently susceptible to distortion artifacts due to the natural curvature of the eye. This study proposes a novel model for widefield OCT angiography (OCTA) distortion correction and analyzes the effects of this correction on quantification metrics.
methodsWidefield OCTA images were obtained on normal subjects at five fixation spatial positions. Radial and field distortion correction were applied and images stitched together to form a corrected widefield montage image. Vessel area density (VAD), vessel complexity index (VCI), and flow impairment area were quantified on the original and corrected montage images.
resultsThis model allows for distortion correction and montaging of widefield images. There were either statistically insignificant or small magnitude changes in vessel density and vessel complexity between uncorrected and corrected widefield images. There was a significant and large difference in flow impairment area, both in the macular (+8.2%, P=0.049) and peripheral areas (+17.2%, P=0.011), following correction. The relationship between pre- and post-correction flow impairment area was non-linear.
conclusionsDistortion correction of widefield OCTA images can result in clinically and statistically significant differences in important quantification metrics. This effect appears to be most pronounced in the periphery.
