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

BACKGROUND/

aimThe aim of this study was to analyze choroidal circulatory and structural changes using laser speckle flowgraphy (LSFG) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) in acute macular neuroretinopathy (AMN) after infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), respectively. CASE REPORT: A 24-year-old woman complained of distorted vision after SARS-CoV-2 infection oculi uterque (OU) and referred to our hospital because of ellipsoid zones (EZ) disruption on OCT. Her best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 1.2 OU. Color fundus photographs revealed dark red lesions in the macula, and scanning laser ophthalmoscopy infrared images showed hypointensity consistent with dark red lesions OU. We diagnosed the patient with AMN after SARS-CoV-2 infection, and posterior sub-Tenon injections of triamcinolone acetonide were performed OU. Five months after the initial visit, her BCVA was 1.2 OU, and EZ disruption improved. The rate of change in macular blood flow assessed by the mean blur rate on LSFG was 20.4% and 29.6% increase oculus dexter (OD) and oculus sinister (OS) 5 months after the initial visit, respectively. The central choroidal thickness showed 13.5% increase OD and 16.1% increase OS. The binarization technique demonstrated that the ratio of luminal areas in choroidal area increased by 12.6% OD and 14.2% OS, and stromal areas increased by 7.3% OD and 16.9% OS.

conclusionBefore and after treatment for AMN, the luminal component may have increased with improvement of acute choroidal circulatory disturbance caused by SARS-CoV-2, and increased stromal components may be due to chronic inflammation and tissue remodeling of the stroma.
