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

Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is associated with changes in the retinal vasculature which can be assessed non-invasively with much higher resolution than the cerebral vasculature. To detect changes at a microvascular level, we used optical coherence tomography angiography which resolves retinal and choroidal vasculature. Participants with CSVD and controls were included. White matter lesions were determined on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The retinal and choroidal vasculature were quantified using swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography. Data were analysed using linear regression. We included 30 participants (18 females; patients, n = 20; controls, n = 10) with a mean age of 61 ± 10 years. Patients had a higher mean white matter lesion index and number of lesions than controls (p ≤ 0.002). The intraindividual deviation of choriocapillaris reflectivity differed significantly between age-matched patients (0.234 ± 0.012) and controls (0.247 ± 0.011; p = 0.029). Skeleton density of the deep retinal capillaries was significantly associated with the number of lesions on MRI (β = - 5.3 × 10
