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
purposeThe aim of this study was to evaluate the choroidal and photoreceptor thickness in highly myopic eyes and its correlation with visual acuity.
methodsThis is a cross-sectional, observational study involving 57 eyes of 57 highly myopic subjects [spherical equivalent ≥ -6 diopters (D) or axial length ≥ 26 mm] seen in a tertiary institutional center. Eyes with any clinical evidence of maculopathy or amblyopia were excluded. All subjects underwent a refraction assessment, visual acuity, axial length measurement using the IOL Master, and full ocular assessment. Eyes were imaged using Spectralis Optical Coherence Tomography by one experienced operator. Two independent investigators manually measured subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) and foveal photoreceptor thickness (FPT).
resultsThe mean SFCT was 195.88 ± 87.63 μm (range: 32-373) and mean FPT was 96.68 ± 11.23 μm (range: 67-100), after correction for ocular magnification. The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in LogMAR was negatively correlated with SFCT (
conclusionFPT, age, and axial length are significant moderate predictive factors for poorer visual acuity in highly myopic eyes without myopic maculopathy. Thinner SFCT does not translate into poorer vision.
