Regional Analysis of Inner Retinal Layer Changes in Multiple Sclerosis with and without Optic Neuritis.
Article in Turkish journal of ophthalmology, 2023. 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
Objectives: The study aimed to investigate inner retinal changes in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients by comparing them with healthy controls. The study also aimed to assess regional differences of inner retinal layer involvement in eyes with and without optic neuritis (ON). Materials and Methods: This retrospective, cross-sectional study consisted of 141 eyes of 74 relapsing-remitting MS patients and 80 eyes of 40 healthy controls. The study group was separated into two subgroups according to the presence of ON history. Peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) thickness, total macular thickness, and thicknesses of the macular retinal nerve fiber layer (mRNFL), ganglion cell layer (GCL), inner plexiform layer (IPL), and inner nuclear layer were compared between the MS and healthy control groups and between eyes with and without ON history. Results: Mean pRNFL, total macular, mRNFL, GCL, and IPL thicknesses were significantly thinner in the MS group than in the control group (p<0.001) and in eyes with ON compared to those without ON (p<0.05). Comparison of inner retinal layer thicknesses in the inner 3-mm ring subfields of the ETDRS grid revealed significant thinning in all subfields of the GCL and IPL of eyes with ON (p<0.05). The inferior subfield demonstrated the highest difference. Conclusion: The study demonstrated that GCL and IPL thinning is a robust and reliable biomarker in all MS patients. The thinning was significantly greater in eyes with ON than in eyes without ON. The study also documented that the inferior region showed significantly greater GCL and IPL thinning in eyes with previous ON attacks.
