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

We performed a retrospective, observational study of 51 eyes in 51 treatment-naïve patients with polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV), whose lesion ranged within the 6 × 6 mm scope of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). The patients were divided into an ill-defined group and a well-defined group based on the pattern of branching vascular network (BVN) on OCTA. BVN morphology was not related to baseline best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA). However, the BCVA in the ill-defined BVN group (-0.18 [interquartile range: -0.40 to 0.00]) was significantly improved after anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) injections, compared with that (0.00 [interquartile range: -0.18 to 0.00]) in the well-defined group (z = 2.143,
