Visual field defects and retinal nerve fiber layer damage in buried optic disc drusen: a new insight.

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.
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
aimTo assess the association between buried optic disc drusen (BODD) location using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and the location of associated visual field defects (VFD) using the Garway-Heath mapping.
methodsThis monocentric retrospective cross-sectional study was led at the authors' institution. Adult patients diagnosed with BODD who had complete records with a reliable Humphrey
resultsTotally 20 eyes of 15 patients were included (60% females). The median age (interquartile range) was 63 (43)y and the median best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was -0.08 (0.08) log MAR. BODD were mostly located in zones A, E, and F. The minimal rim width (MRW) was globally preserved. The retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) was predominantly altered in zones D, E, and F. There was a significant correlation between BODD location and that of RNFL alterations in zones D (
conclusionBODD do not only affect young patients and can be more harmful than usually expected, as we found VFD in 63% of cases. There is a correspondence between BODD location, RNFL damage, and VFD distributions. The presence of BODD induces the overestimation of MRW, thereby disrupting its sensitivity as an early indicator of ganglion fibers damage.
