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

Purpose: To investigate the characteristics of the retinal microvasculature of the fellow eyes in patients with unilateral retinoblastoma (RB) after intra-arterial chemotherapy (IAC) through optical coherence tomography angiography. Methods: This retrospective study enrolled 11 fellow eyes of patients with unilateral RB receiving IAC (group I), nine fellow eyes of patients with unilateral RB receiving IAC and intravenous chemotherapy (IVC) (group II), and 14 age-matched normal eyes (control group). Optical coherence tomography angiography was performed on all individuals. Vascular density of superficial capillary plexus and deep capillary plexus (DCP), foveal avascular zone related parameters, and retinal thickness were measured and compared among the three groups. Results: There was no statistical difference in age and logMAR visual acuity among the three groups. Compared with the control group, the vascular density of the DCP was lower in group I and II. Decreased vascular density of FD-300 and thinner thickness of outer plexus layer to Bruch's membrane were detected in group II compared with the control group. The vascular density and retinal thickness showed no differences between group I and II. Conclusion: The decreased vascular density in the DCP without measurable visual impairment was observed in fellow eyes after IAC or IAC + IVC for unilateral RB. Further studies with a larger sample would be necessary to determine the clinical significance of these findings.
