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 paper was to study the bilateral choroidal thickness (CT) symmetry and differences in healthy individuals using wide-field swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT). Methods: All participants underwent a wide-field 16-mm 1-line scan using SS-OCT. CTs were measured at the following 12 points: 3 points at 900 µm, 1800 µm, and 2700 µm away from the nasal optic disc margin (nasal peripapillary area), 1 point at the subfovea, 6 points at 900 µm, 1800 µm, and 2700 µm away from the subfovea to the nasal and temporal areas (macular area), and 2 peripheral points at 2700 and 5400 µm from temporal point 3 (peripheral area). Bilateral CTs were measured; their correlations and differences in the corresponding regions were analyzed. Results: There were no statistically significant differences in CTs between the right and left eyes in all corresponding areas (all P > 0.05); they all showed significant positive correlation coefficients (r) (all P < 0.001). However, the nasal peripapillary and peripheral areas had relatively low correlation coefficients, compared to the macular areas. In addition, the bilateral CT differences were 32.60 ± 25.80 µm in the macular area, 40.67 ± 30.58 µm in the nasal peripapillary area, and 56.03 ± 45.73 µm in the peripheral area (all P < 0.001). Conclusions: Overall, the CTs of each region were bilaterally symmetrical. However, the differences in CTs increased from the center to the periphery, which indicated that the anatomic variation of the nasal peripapillary and peripheral choroid was greater than that of the macula.
