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 reveal the characteristics of vascular changes in retinal arterial occlusion (RAO) using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) and determine the correlated factors with best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA).

methodsThis retrospective study recruited 54 RAO patients and 27 healthy individuals. Ophthalmic examinations including BCVA and OCTA were performed in all the patients and individuals. The OCTA outcomes were analyzed using SPSS software, and the characteristics of vascular changes and BCVA-related factors were summarized.

resultsThe vessel density in all areas except fovea of both superficial capillary plexus (SCP) and deep capillary plexus (DCP) was significantly reduced in RAO eyes compared with the fellow eyes and normal control eyes (P < 0.05). The vessel density of DCP in all areas except fovea was significantly reduced in the fellow eyes compared with that in the normal control eyes as well (P < 0.05). The retinal thickness in fovea was significantly increased in RAO eyes compared with that in the fellow eyes and normal control eyes (P < 0.05), without any differences in other areas between the RAO eyes and the other two groups (P > 0.05). The retinal thickness in whole area and retinal thickness in fovea were correlated with BCVA, respectively (whole area: r = 0.295, P = 0.030; fovea: r = 0.322, P = 0.018).

conclusionsOCTA is a fast, noninvasive, and effective examination means for RAO that can display the vascular density and retinal thickness quantitatively and distinctly. RAO patients had reduced vascular density in both eyes and increased foveal retinal thickness in RAO eyes, showing a correlation with BCVA.
