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: To compare superficial retinal vascular, choriocapillaris (CC), and choroidal thickness changes in chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) patients after half-dose photodynamic therapy (PDT). Method: In this prospective interventional case series study, fifteen eyes of 14 patients with chronic CSCR undergoing half-dose PDT treatment were enrolled. All patients underwent enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography angiography (EDI-OCT) and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) at baseline and 3 months after treatment. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), superficial retinal vascular density, CC vessel density, foveal avascular zone (FAZ), central macular thickness (CMT), and choroidal thickness were compared. Results: Mean BCVA before and after PDT was 0.34 ± 0.26 and 0.19 ± 0.25 logMAR, respectively ( Conclusion: PDT treatment can affect retinal and choroidal structural parameters, but we could not find any significant influence on retinal vascular parameters, including FAZ area and vessel densityonly mean CC vessel density and subfoveal choroidal thickness decreased.
