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

objectiveThe present study aims to observe the optic nerve fiber layer thickness and blood flow density in the papillary area and investigate the effects of axial length (AL) and the refractive state of the optic papilla blood flow density in children with different refractive conditions.

methodsThe present study was a clinical control study. The right eyes of 204 minors aged 6-17 years were studied. The eyes were divided into four groups according to myopic refractive states. OCTA analyzed the data to compare the radial peripapillary capillary (RPC) density and the difference in the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness adjacent to the optic papilla between the four refraction groups.

resultsThe intra-optic disc blood flow density was significantly and negatively correlated with the AL and was negatively correlated with the AL in the inferior temporal quadrants. The RNFL in the superior, nasal, and inferior quadrants was negatively correlated with the AL. The RNFL in the temporal quadrant was positively correlated with the AL.

conclusionOur present study revealed that aAs myopia increased and the AL grew in children, the blood density of the entire image of the optic papilla, in the optic disc, and the retinal capillaries in the inferior parapapillary and temporal quadrant would change significantly. With increasing AL, a significant decrease in the intra-disc and para-disc RNFL was observed in the superior, nasal, and inferior quadrants, while a substantial increase in RNFL was observed in the temporal quadrant.
