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

Similar to ultrasound adapting soundwaves to depict the inner structures and tissues, optical coherence tomography (OCT) utilizes low coherence light waves to assess characteristics in the eye. Compared to the previous gold standard diagnostic imaging fluorescein angiography, OCT is a noninvasive imaging modality that generates images of ocular tissues at a rapid speed. Two commonly used iterations of OCT include spectral-domain (SD) and swept-source (SS). Each comes with different wavelengths and tissue penetration capacities. OCT angiography (OCTA) is a functional extension of the OCT. It generates a large number of pixels to capture the tissue and underlying blood flow. This allows OCTA to measure ischemia and demarcation of the vasculature in a wide range of conditions. This review focused on the study of four commonly encountered diseases involving the retina including age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy (DR), central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC), and macular telangiectasia (MacTel). Modern imaging techniques including SD-OCT, TD-OCT, SS-OCT, and OCTA assist with understanding the disease pathogenesis and natural history of disease progression, in addition to routine diagnosis and management in the clinical setting. Finally, this review compares each imaging technique's limitations and potential refinements.
