Persistent Hypertransmission Defects Detected on En Face Swept Source Optical Computed Tomography Images Predict the Formation of Geographic Atrophy in Age-Related Macular Degeneration.
Article in American journal of ophthalmology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 52 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 determine whether persistent hypertransmission defects (hyperTDs), previously shown to have a greatest linear dimension (GLD) ≥250 µm on en face swept source OCT (SS-OCT) images, serve as a stand-alone early biomarker for the future formation geographic atrophy (GA).
designPost hoc cohort study using a subgroup of a prospective study.
methodsPatients with intermediate age-related macular degeneration (iAMD) underwent 6- × 6-mm SS-OCT raster scans at baseline and during their follow-up period. En face images were generated using a slab with segmentation boundaries positioned 64 µm to 400 µm beneath the Bruch's membrane. Two graders independently evaluated all en face structural images for the presence of hyperTDs with a GLD ≥250 µm and GA.
resultsA total of 190 eyes were included with a mean ± SD follow-up of 31 ± 13.2 months. At baseline, 31 eyes (16%) had at least 1 hyperTD ≥250 µm, and 13 eyes (42%) progressed to GA. In those eyes without a hyperTD ≥250 µm at baseline, 42 (26%) developed hyperTDs ≥250 µm during their follow-up, and 11 eyes (7%) progressed to GA. At the last available follow-up visit, 25 eyes (13%) progressed to GA and of these 25 eyes, a prior hyperTD ≥250 µm was detected in 24 eyes before GA formed. A time-dependent Cox-survival regression analysis estimated an 80-fold (95% CI, 10.7-614, P < .001) increased risk of developing GA once a hyperTD ≥250 µm appeared.
conclusionsPersistent hyperTDs detected on en face OCT images were shown to serve as an early stand-alone OCT biomarker for the future formation of GA.
