Evaluation of Choroidal Vascularity Index in Keratoconus Patients: Does Choroidal Vascularity Change in Keratoconus?
Article in Journal of current ophthalmology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Purpose: To investigate the choroidal structure in keratoconic patients with different severity using the choroidal vascularity index (CVI) derived from image binarization on enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography scans (EDI-OCT). Methods: Sixty-eight eyes from 34 keratoconus (KCN) patients and 72 eyes from 36 healthy subjects were recruited in this prospective, noninterventional, comparative cross-sectional study. EDI-OCT was employed to measure choroidal parameters, including choroidal thickness (CT), total choroidal area (TCA), luminal area, stromal area, and CVI. Results: Subfoveal CT was 354.6 ± 66.8 μm in the control group and 371 ± 64.5 μm in the KCN group ( Conclusion: It seems that CVI as well as other choroidal biomarkers were not significantly different between patients with KCN and healthy subjects.
