Optical coherence tomography angiography in Bietti crystalline dystrophy.
Article in European journal of ophthalmology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
purposeBietti crystalline dystrophy (BCD) is a rare autosomal recessive retinal dystrophy caused by pathogenic variants of
methodsA 59-years-old female with genetically confirmed BCD underwent an ophthalmological examination complete of OCTA performed in the atrophic retina, the junctional zone and the apparently normal retina. The area of choriocapillaris (CC) atrophy was compared to the area of RPE atrophy on fundus autofluorescence (FAF) imaging.
resultsA severe vessel density (VD) deficit at the level of superficial and deep capillary plexa as well as CC was registered in atrophic areas, which resulted deeper with respect to the junctional area, whereas the apparently preserved retina revealed VD values similar to that of control eyes. The area of RPE atrophy on FAF was larger (55.90 mm
conclusionsOur findings suggest that VD impairment of retinal plexa and CC follows the degeneration of RPE as demonstrated by the greater size of the area of RPE atrophy compared to CC atrophy. Further investigations based on OCTA imaging are necessary to enhance our knowledge of this rare disease.
