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

purposeAssess the beta zone parapapillary atrophy in elderly Chinese. PATIENTS AND

methodsThe Beijing Eye Study 2011 is a population-based cross-sectional study, which includes 3468 patients with the average age of 64.5 ± 9.8 years. The beta zone of parapapillary atrophy was captured and analyzed morphometrically by using colour optic disc photographs.

resultsThe beta zone was found in 1358 (39.9%) eyes, measuring 0.37 ± 0.84 mm

conclusionThe population prevalence of beta zone was 39.9% in elderly Chinese. The area of the beta zone has statistically significant association with age, urban, the thickness of retinal nerve fiber layer, age related macular degeneration, cardiovascular disease history, axial length, myopic refractive error, size of optic disc size, the thickness of subfoveal choroid.
