Evaluation of choroidal thickness and choroidal vascularity index in patients with Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever.

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
purposeThis study aimed to compare choroidal thickness parameters between patients diagnosed with Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) and healthy individuals using spectral domain optical coherence tomography.
methodsThe right eyes of 27 individuals diagnosed with CCHF and 27 healthy subjects were included in this study. CCHF cases were assessed based on a history of tick bites and hospitalization. Choroidal thickness was measured using enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography. Measurements of choroidal thickness were taken at 5 different points, including the subfoveal quadrant and the fovea up to 2000 μm with 1000 μm intervals in the temporal and nasal quadrants. Choroidal vascular index (CVI) was calculated as the ratio of luminal area (LA) to total choroidal area (TCA) at the macula's total area and at 1500 μm from the center (CVI and CVI
resultsChoroidal thickness in the CCHF group was found to be thicker in each quadrant compared to the control group, with the subfoveal and nasal quadrants showing significantly greater thickness. TCA, stromal area, and LA were significantly higher in the CCHF group, while no significant difference was observed in CVI and CVI
conclusionThe findings of this study suggest that CCHF disease may have an impact on the choroidal structure.
