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

Purpose: Acute idiopathic blind spot enlargement is a rare syndrome that is classified within a spectrum of primary inflammatory choriocapillaropathies with circumscribed outer retinal dysfunction. Observations: We observed coarsening of the choriocapillaris on en-face optical coherence tomography angiography when compared to the fellow eye in a patient with suspected acute idiopathic blind spot enlargement. Conclusions and Importance: Increased granularity of the choriocapillaris as imaged by optical coherence tomography angiography may assist in the diagnosis of acute idiopathic blind spot enlargement, particularly during a global pandemic when access to electrodiagnostics is limited. This finding supports the current evidence of choriocapillaris hypoperfusion in the pathogenesis of acute idiopathic blind spot enlargement.
