Choroidal thickness alterations in idiopathic acute retinal vasculitis.
Article in Therapeutic advances in ophthalmology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundTo evaluate changes in sub-foveal choroidal thickness in patients with acute idiopathic retinal vasculitis compared with age-matched healthy subjects and unaffected fellow eyes.
methodsThis prospective observational study included 36 eyes of 23 acute idiopathic retinal vasculitis patients (group V) which included a sub-group of 10 eyes of 10 patients with unilateral vasculitis (group UV), and 50 eyes of 25 healthy subjects (group N). The assessment involved demographics, systemic examination, comprehensive ocular examination, fundus photography with/without fundus fluorescein angiography, and spectral domain-optical coherence tomography with enhanced depth imaging.
resultsThere was significant difference between the mean sub-foveal choroidal thickness in groups V and N (V: 338.86 ± 28.72 um; N: 296.72 ± 19.45 μm;
conclusionThe sub-foveal choroidal thickness increases during active inflammation in eyes with idiopathic retinal vasculitis compared with unaffected fellow eyes and healthy control eyes. Thus, measurement of the sub-foveal choroidal thickness on optical coherence tomography with enhanced depth imaging can serve as a non-invasive modality in the diagnosis and monitoring of acute idiopathic retinal vasculitis.
