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

Objectives: The purpose of the study was to determine the differences of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) measurements between the patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and non-neovascular early AMD. Methods: This retrospectively designed study included patients with neovascular AMD (N-AMD group) and non-neovascular early AMD (NN-AMD group). The patients had a completed ocular examination including best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA, in decimal), intraocular pressure (IOP, mmHg), and OCTA measurements such as choroidal blood flow (au) and retinal vessel density (VD, %). Results: The N-AMD group (1.46±0.28 au) showed a lower mean choroidal flow measurement than the NN-AMD group (1.73±0.32 au), (p<0.001). The patients in the N-AMD group had reduced VD measurements in all superficial and deep retinal layers compared with the NN-AMD group. However, significant differences in VD measurements were observed only in total superficial parafovea and in the superior and inferior quadrants of superficial parafovea while comparing the N-AMD and NN-AMD groups (p<0.05 for all). Almost all deep retinal VD measurements (p<0.05 for them) were significantly different in the N-AMD group except the overall and foveal zones (p=0.144 and p=0.433, respectively). Conclusion: Retinal VD is reduced in patients with N-AMD when compared to NN-AMD. This outcome offered a retinal vessel contribution to AMD pathogenesis.
