Changes in the Macular Vascular Density After Bariatric Surgery Measured by Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography.
Article in Clinical ophthalmology (Auckland, N.Z.), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
purposeTo evaluate the effect of the weight loss, 3 months after bariatric surgery, on the macular thickness and macular vascular density by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).
methodsForty obese patients were included in this prospective study. Body mass index (BMI), macular thickness (whole, fovea, parafovea and perifovea), macular vascular density (VD) in superficial capillary plexus (whole, fovea, parafovea and perifovea), and macular vascular density in deep capillary plexus (whole, fovea, parafovea and perifovea) were measured before and 3 months after bariatric surgery.
resultsThe BMI was significantly reduced postoperatively to 43.75±4.4 kg/m
conclusionBariatric surgery showed significant effect on certain indices in macular thickness and macular vascular density, especially in the deep capillary plexus. Therefore, OCTA is considered a valuable tool to assess the short-term changes in macular microcirculation following significant weight reduction.
