Relationship Between Retinal Layer Thickness and Genetic Susceptibility to Age-Related Macular Degeneration in Asian Populations.
Article in Ophthalmology science, 2023. 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: For OCT retinal thickness measurements to be used as a prodromal age-related macular degeneration (AMD) risk marker, the 3-dimensional (3D) topographic variation of the relationship between genetic susceptibility to AMD and retinal thickness needs to be assessed. We aimed to evaluate individual retinal layer thickness changes and topography at the macula that are associated with AMD genetic susceptibility. Design: Genetic association study. Participants: A total of 1579 healthy participants (782 Chinese, 353 Malays, and 444 Indians) from the multiethnic Singapore Epidemiology of Eye Diseases study were included. Methods: Spectral-domain OCT and automatic segmentation of individual retinal layers were performed to produce 10 retinal layer thickness measurements at each ETDRS subfield, producing 3D topographic information. Age-related macular degeneration genetic susceptibility was represented via single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and aggregated via whole genome (overall) and pathway-specific age-related macular degeneration polygenic risk score (PRS Main Outcome Measures: Associations of individual SNPs, overall PRS Results: Conclusions: Overall genetic susceptibility to AMD and the aggregate effects of the complement cascade and lipoprotein metabolism pathway are associated most significantly with L7 and L9 photoreceptor thinning at the central macula in healthy individuals. Photoreceptor thinning has potential to be a prodromal AMD risk marker, and topographic variation should be considered.
