Correlation of photoreceptor damage with anti-retina antibodies level in aqueous humor in macular edema patients.
Article in Scientific reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
This study aimed to investigate the correlation between the severity of photoreceptor damage and the level of anti-retina antibodies (ARAs) in aqueous humor, including recoverin, CA II and enolase-α IgG antibody of macular edema patients. Aqueous humor samples were collected from macular edema patients and from cataract patients. Patients were divided into three groups according to the severity of discontinuity of ellipsoid zone (EZ) shown on optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging: cataract patients with intact EZ, macular edema patients with mild EZ damage, and macular edema patients with severe EZ damage. The level of ARAs was determined with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The correlation between the level of ARAs and the degree of photoreceptor damage was analyzed. The level of ARAs of the intact EZ group was significantly lower than that in the severely damaged group (P < 0.05). The level of recoverin IgG of the intact EZ group was significantly lower than mildly damaged group (P = 0.030). In a subgroup analysis, the level of recoverin IgG of DME patients was correlated with their central retinal thickness (CRT) (r = 0.462, P = 0.035). The level of ARAs in aqueous humor of patients with DME and RVO-ME was correlated with the degree of photoreceptor damage.
