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

Purpose: To examine the effectiveness of a targeted high-density microperimetry testing strategy for detecting visual sensitivity abnormalities in eyes with nascent geographic atrophy (nGA) when compared with standard central microperimetry testing. Design: Observational study. Participants: Three-hundred and twenty-one eyes from 176 individuals with nonneovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Methods: Thirty-five eyes from 33 participants underwent targeted high-density microperimetry testing of atrophic lesions (either nGA or geographic atrophy [GA]) within a 1.75° radius (or approximately 1000 μm diameter) region. Another cohort of 286 eyes from 143 participants with bilateral large drusen at baseline underwent standard microperimetry testing of the central 6 Main Outcome Measures: Magnitude of visual sensitivity abnormalities based on mean sensitivity (MS), pointwise sensitivity standard deviation (PSD), and the number of test locations with a threshold of ≤ 10 decibels (dB; or deep defects) in eyes with nGA, compared between eyes that underwent targeted high-density microperimetry testing and standard central microperimetry testing. Results: The magnitude of visual sensitivity abnormalities based on MS, PSD and the number of deep defects were all significantly greater in eyes with nGA using targeted, high-density microperimetry testing compared with eyes with nGA using standard central microperimetry testing (all Conclusions: Targeted, high-density microperimetry testing enabled the detection of a significantly greater magnitude of visual sensitivity abnormalities in eyes with nGA than standard microperimetry testing.
