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

We aimed to quantitatively compare the choroid blood flow and choroid thickness at the periphery among eyes with central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC), fellow eyes and healthy eyes using ultra-widefield swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (UWF SS-OCTA). Retrospective analysis of 49 patients with CSC (98 eyes, including unaffected fellow eyes) and 49 age and sex matched controls were included. We obtained 3-dimensional data of vertical 20 mm × horizontal 24 mm × scan depth 6 mm, comprising 9 subfields (superotemporal, upper, superonasal, temporal, central, nasal, inferotemporal, lower, inferonasal regions). CSC eyes presented with greater density of large-vessel choroidal layer in all the 9 subfields compared with controls. Compared with normal eyes, CSC eyes had greater choroidal thickness (superotemporal, upper, superonasal, temporal, central, nasal, inferotemporal, and inferonasal subfields) and choroidal volume (superotemporal, upper, superonasal, temporal, central, and nasal subfields). Compared with control eyes, the choriocapillaris density in the superotemporal, inferotemporal and inferonasal subfields was greater in patients with CSC. Our study may provide further evidence for the congestion of vortex vein in the pathogenesis of CSC. UWF SS-OCTA can be used to evaluate the abnormalities of the choroidal structures even at the periphery in eyes with CSC.
