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: The purpose of this study is to determine the relationships between foveal avascular zone (FAZ), foveal vascular density (FD) and GCC (ganglion cell complex) parameters in a healthy myopic population using optical coherence tomography angiography (angio-OCT). Patients and Methods: Three hundred and eighty-one eyes of 381 healthy participants were included into this study and assigned to three groups according to their spherical equivalent (SE) values and an additional progressive myopia group. One randomly chosen eye from each patient was analyzed. GCC mean thickness, focal loss of volume (FLV), global loss of volume (GLV), FAZ area, FAZ perimeter, and FD parameters were obtained with the RTVue AngioOCT device. Results: FAZ area and its perimeter were strongly correlated with the belonging spherical equivalent group (p = 0.0001, p = 0.0008 accordingly), being the largest in progressive myopia subgroup (mean size 0.42mm Conclusion: In myopia, compared to non-myopic groups, there is a greater loss of neural tissue represented by a thinner GCC layer, greater FLV and GLV parameters, and worse blood supply represented by a larger FAZ area. Eye axial length of 26.6 mm is a breaking point, where the negative FAZ area to GCC thickness relationship curve is getting significantly steeper.
