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 study the topographical relationship between acute macular neuroretinopathy (AMN) lesions and the choroidal watershed zone (CWZ) or patchy choroidal filling (PCF) using multimodal imaging.

methodsLesions in patients diagnosed with AMN were clinically examined using multimodal imaging, including fundus photography, near-infrared reflectance imaging, spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT), fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green angiography, OCT angiography, and microperimetry. The topographical relationship between AMN and the CWZ or PCF was evaluated.

resultsSeven eyes of six patients were included in the study. The mean age of the patients was 35.8 ± 11.7 years. The AMN lesions were collocated with the CWZ in five eyes and the PCF in one eye. Among these eyes, three had complete patterns, and three had partial patterns. Only one eye showed no topographical relationship between AMN and the CWZ or PCF.

conclusionThe colocation of AMN and CWZ/PCF suggests that the AMN lesions were within an area with a dual-watershed zone: the watershed zone between the retinal deep capillary plexus and choriocapillaris, and the choroidal watershed zone or patchy choroidal filling. This retinal area was highly vulnerable to hypoperfusion. Our results suggest a novel pathophysiological mechanism for AMN.
