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

aimTo describe the optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) characteristics of exudative and non-exudative treatment-naïve pachychoroid neovasculopathy (PNV).

methodsThirty-five patients with exudative treatment-naïve PNV and 13 with non-exudative treatment-naïve PNV between March 2020 and December 2021 were included. All patients underwent ophthalmologic examination, including fluorescein angiography (FA), indocyanine green angiography (ICGA), spectral-domain OCT, and OCTA. The clinical data of the patients were retrospectively analyzed.

resultsThe study included 51 eyes from 46 patients, of whom 33 (71.7%) were male. The central macular thickness (CMT) in the exudative PNV group was significantly higher than that in the non-exudative PNV group (383.97±132.16 µm

conclusionThe OCTA imaging finds that there are significant differences in CMT, maximum height of FIPED, PNV area, and morphology of exudative PNV and non-exudative PNV groups. OCTA can accurately identify the clinical and imaging features of exudative and non-exudative treatment-naïve PNV, and distinguish PNV activity.
