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

purposeTo analyze the retinal ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) changes in retinal vein occlusion (RVO) eyes with resolved macular edema using optical coherence tomography.

methodsWe compared the average and minimum GCIPL thickness in RVO eyes with fellow eyes and healthy controls including 40 unilateral RVO patients and 48 healthy subjects. The average GCIPL thickness in BRVO eyes was segmented into the affected and opposite area according to the site of lesion, comparing them with corresponding areas in fellow eyes. Furthermore, maximum central macular thickness (CMT), visual acuity (VA), and intravitreal injection times were recorded to investigate their relationship with the GCIPL thickness.

resultsDespite no significant difference in CMT (P = 0.96), the average (P = 0.02 and P < 0.001, respectively) and minimum (both P < 0.001) GCIPL thicknesses were decreased in RVO eyes with resolved macular edema after treatment in comparison to fellow eyes and healthy eyes. Maximum CMT thickness was negatively correlated with the minimum GCIPL thickness (r = - 0.47, P = 0.003). VA and average GCIPL thickness were associated (r

conclusionsA decrease of GCIPL thickness in RVO was observed even after anatomic restoration and associated with VA prognosis. These GCIPL defects could be attributable to systemic risks and RVO itself, not anti-VEGF effects.
