Peripapillary Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness and Optic Nerve Head Parameters in Patients Recovered from COVID-19: A Longitudinal Study.
Article in Journal of ophthalmology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Purpose: To quantify the longitudinal changes of the optic nerve head (ONH) parameters and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) thickness in patients recovered from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) analysis. Materials and Methods: In an observational longitudinal study, in patients recovered from COVID-19, ONH OCT images were recorded at least two weeks after recovery from the systemic disease as the baseline and after one and three-month follow-up. Ganglion cell complex (GCC) analysis, ONH parameters, and pRNFL thickness changes were measured. Results: A total of 36 eyes from 18 recovered COVID-19 patients including eleven (61.2%) females were studied. The average age was 35.5 ± 7.5 years. The pRNFL thickness in the nasal lower sector significantly decreased from 77 ± 18 Conclusion: Localized defect in the nasal lower sector of pRNFL is observed in 3-month post-recovery from COVID-19. Larger studies with longer follow-ups are required to reveal the exact changes in ONH parameters.
