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

We performed full circumferential imaging of the Schlemm's canal (SC) of two human eyes using a Fourier domain mode-lock laser (FDML) based 1.66-MHz SS-OCT prototype at 1060 nm. Eight volumes with overlapping margins were acquired around the limbal area with customized raster scanning patterns designed to fully cover the SC while minimizing motion artifacts. The SC was segmented from the volumes using a semi-automated active contour segmentation algorithm, whose mean dice similarity coefficient was 0.76 compared to the manual segmentation results. We also reconstructed three-dimensional (3D) renderings of the 360° SC by stitching the segmented SCs from the volumetric datasets. Quantitative metrics of the full circumferential SC were provided, including the mean and standard deviation (SD) of the cross-sectional area (CSA), the maximum CSA, the minimum and maximum SC opening width, and the number of collector channels (CC) stemming from the SC.
