Normative optical coherence tomography reference ranges of the optic nerve head, nerve fiber layer, and macula in healthy Saudi children.
Article in Saudi medical journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectivesTo use the Cirrus high-definition (HD)-OCT to establish normative data for the macula and optic disc in healthy Saudi children and to examine the effect of age and gender on these parameters.
methodsThis retrospective study was carried out at King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH), Saudi Arabia from November 2022 to April 2023. The study involved 135 full-term and healthy Saudi children aged 4-18 years who were evaluated at the KAUH ophthalmology clinic. Detailed demographic and ocular disease history data were obtained from the patients' medical records. The main outcome measures of the study included measurements of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness, macular thickness, and optic nerve head (ONH).
resultsThe mean macular volume was 9.9 mm
conclusionNormative values for macular and optic nerve measures among Saudi children were established using the Cirrus HD-OCT device to serve as a reference.
