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

purposeTo explore subretinal fluid (SRF) morphology in chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (cCSC) after one session of either high-density subthreshold micropulse laser (HSML) treatment or half-dose photodynamic therapy (PDT).

methodsWe retrospectively obtained optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans from a subset of patients from a randomized controlled trial on treatment-naïve eyes with cCSC allocated to either HSML treatment or half-dose PDT. OCT scans were evaluated prior to treatment and 6-8 weeks post-treatment, where we measured maximum SRF height and width, calculated the maximum height-to-maximum width-ratio (maxHWR) and calculated the total SRF volume.

resultsForty-one eyes of 39 cCSC patients were included. SRF morphology ranged from flat to dome-shaped, quantified as maxHWR ranging between 0.02 and 0.12. SRF volume was median 0.373 μl (range: 0.010-4.425 μl) and did not correlate to maxHWR (rho = -0.004, p = 0.982). Half-dose PDT was superior to HSML treatment in complete SRF resolution (RR = 3.28, p = 0.003) and in morphological changes of SRF (Δ

conclusionSRF morphology changed after both HSML treatment and half-dose PDT in cCSC, with SRF disappearing in most PDT-treated patients, whereas SRF volume increased in a sizeable proportion of HSML-treated patients. Baseline SRF characteristics measured in this study were unable to predict outcomes after either HSML treatment or half-dose PDT.
