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

The aim of this study is to access the perifoveolar and peripapillary vascular density (VD) using optical coherence tomography-angiography (OCT-A) in eyes with optic neuritis (ON) and in fellow eyes, then compare that to healthy controls.

methodThis is a cross-sectional study including 22 patients with unilateral ON and 20 control eyes of healthy subjects. A complete clinical examination and OCT-A were performed at least 6 months after the acute episode of optic neuritis. Vascular plexuses of the peripapillary and perifoveolar images obtained from OCT-A were used to calculate the VD in each plexus: superficial, deep, and peripapillary capillaries for each group (ON eyes, fellow eyes, healthy eyes).

resultsCompared to healthy control eyes, in the peripapillary area, we found a significant decrease in VD not only in ON eyes but also in fellow eyes in average (

conclusionPeripapillary vascular density is decreased in both affected eyes and fellow eyes after a unilateral episode of optic neuritis, suggesting a subclinical involvement of the disease. Further studies are needed to clarify the mechanism and clinical implications of these data.
