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 investigate the clinical and morphologic factors related to asymmetric dilated vortex veins in central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC). Design: Retrospective, comparative study. Participants: One hundred fifty-eight eyes of 158 patients with CSC. Methods: All patients with CSC underwent ophthalmic examination and multimodal imaging, including measurements of axial length (AL), fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green angiography, swept-source OCT, and anterior segment OCT. Using en face OCT images at the level of the outer choroid, the eyes were divided into 2 groups: eyes with symmetric vortex veins (symmetry group) and those with asymmetric vortex veins (asymmetry group). Main Outcome Measures: Clinical and morphologic factors related to asymmetric vortex veins in CSC. Results: Of the 158 eyes, 120 eyes (75.9%) were classified into the asymmetry group and 38 eyes (24.1%) were classified into the symmetry group. The asymmetry group showed significantly greater spherical equivalent (-0.32 ± 1.78 diopters [D] vs. -1.35 ± 2.64 D; Conclusions: The asymmetric dilated vortex vein is a common finding in patients with CSC. Our results suggest that certain biometric factors, such as short AL, may be associated with asymmetric dilated vortex veins developing in patients with CSC.
