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

purposeTo determine the correlations between inner, mid, and outer retinal thickness (RT) and allied retinal and choroidal vascular densities (VD) at macula in normal healthy children and adolescents.

methodsThis cross-sectional study included a total of 108 eyes of 59 subjects. Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA-Optovue) was used to measure the thickness of the inner-retina (IRT), mid-retina (MRT), and outer-retina (ORT) at foveal (central 1mm), parafoveal (1-3 mm), and perifoveal (3-6 mm) areas, as well as the corresponding VD of the superficial capillary plexus (SVD), deep capillary plexus (DVD), and choricapillaris (CVD).

resultsThe study enrolled 108 normal eyes from 54 participants with a mean age of 10.9 years. Partial correlations showed that the nasal and inferior parafoveal and perifoveal subsegments IRT, MRT and ORT are more affected by all SVD, DVD, and CVD. Nasal parafoveal and perifoveal MRT and all three capillary layers have a constant negative correlation. ORT was not affected by all three layers except for CVD at fovea. The regression analysis revealed that SVD and CVD were significantly associated with foveal and parafoveal and perifoveal IRT. DVD and gender could significantly affect perifoveal IRT. However, only CVD was significantly affected foveal MRT. Based on regression analysis, only CVD was significantly associated with foveal and parafoveal ORT, but not with perifoveal ORT.

conclusionThe thickness of different retinal layers correlates with retinal and choroidal VD in different ways according to their zones.
