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 present a case of atypical unilateral developmental retinal vascular anomaly. OBSERVATIONS: A 10-year-old girl presented to her paediatrician after an absent red reflex was noted in a photograph. She had right anisometropic amblyopia and right iris heterochromia, but was otherwise healthy, with no visual complaints. Fundus examination revealed abnormal right retinal vasculature in keeping with an arteriovenous malformation (AVM). OCTA performed at age 16, showed large aberrant veins in the right eye, whereas OCTA B-Scans showed that the same eye had significantly higher retinal blood perfusion than the unaffected eye. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE: OCTA is a valuable, non-invasive emerging method of evaluating patients with AVMs, with this patient having a unique unilateral presentation of a developmental anomaly, without evidence of progression or other vessel malformation. OCTA allowed assessment of flow between the affected and non-affected eye, quantifying the greater blood perfusion in the affected eye due to the AVM.
