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

purposeThe recent development of a portable investigational handheld OCT-angiography (OCTA) device has allowed for expansion of imaging into the operating room (OR) in addition to standard in-clinic imaging. The aim of this study was to assess intravisit repeatability and intervisit reproducibility of retinal microvasculature measures and central retinal thickness for in-clinic table-top and portable OR compatible OCTA devices.

methodsRepeated 10 × 10 OCTA images were acquired in 20 healthy adult participants on two separate visit days using Spectralis spectral-domain OCTA table-top and investigational armature suspended Flex systems. Intravisit and intervisit intraclass correlation coefficients and average absolute percent difference were calculated for quantitative microvasculature measures and CRT.

results120 OCTA images were acquired from 20 subjects (n = 20, mean age 26.7 ± 1.61 years, range 24-30 years) with both devices across two separate imaging days. FAZ and CRT measurements had near complete intravisit and intervisit agreement with ICCs between .97 and 1 for both table-top (FAZ ICC .97, .97; CRT ICC .98-1, .98-.99) and Flex (FAZ ICC .97, .95; CRT ICC .99-1, .98-.99) devices. Vessel density measures demonstrated greater variance with only fair to strong agreement (ICC .32-.75) and average absolute percent differences ranging from 2.96 to 6.63%.

conclusionFAZ and CRT measures for both devices demonstrated high repeatability and reproducibility; retinal vessel density measures demonstrated less. Differences of less than 7% for retinal microvasculature measurements across time and devices are most likely attributable to expectable variance between repeat scans.
