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 investigate the pathogenic features of the polypoidal lesions from the specimens of polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy extracted from human subjects.

methodsSeven specimens of polypoidal lesions extracted from five eyes of six patients (mean age, 60.16 ± 10.41 years) of polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy were examined. The polypoidal lesions were obtained by surgical excision. Thereafter, a histopathological analysis of the specimens was performed.

resultsThe polypoidal lesions were oval nodules located underneath the retinal pigment epithelium. A pathological study of the lesions revealed that Bruch's membrane schisis was observed in all specimens and they were all located in the Bruch's membrane. The Bruch's membrane schisis and serosanguineous materials constituted the main structure of the lesions in five of the seven specimens, with small vessels being observed in two specimens. One specimen was composed of two polypoidal lesions of different characteristics, and one specimen had a neovessel membrane complex with several polypoidal lesions. Inflammatory cells and blood vessels were observed in the polypoidal lesion of the specimen with neovessel membrane complex.

conclusionPolypoidal lesions of polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy are abnormalities of the Bruch's membrane. The lesions are characterized by the Bruch's membrane schisis, which is filled with serosanguineous materials. The lesions are progressive and may contain inflammatory cells and blood vessels.
