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

purposeTo compare choroidal thickness and volume in eyes with central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) and healthy control eyes over a wide area of the fundus using ultra-widefield optical coherence tomography (UWF-OCT).

methodsThirty-three eyes of 29 patients with CSC and 36 eyes of 21 healthy controls were examined retrospectively. Choroidal images were obtained with a prototype UWF-OCT device with a field of view of 105° or approximately 31.5-mm wide by 10.9-mm deep. Choroidal thickness and volume were measured in the images of 12 radial scans (every 15°) from the horizontal scan. The "new index" of the extent of focal choroidal protrusion was defined as the maximum steepness of choroidal thickness (MSCT).

resultsChoroidal volume in CSC eyes was significantly larger than in control eyes within the central 50° (P < 0.001). However, there was no significant difference in choroidal volume in the peripheral 50 to 105° (P = 0.071). The MSCTs were significantly steeper in CSC eyes than in control eyes at scan lines 1, 6, 7, 8, and 10 (P < 0.01, P < 0.001, P < 0.05, P < 0.01, P < 0.05).

conclusionsThe choroid in CSC eyes was thickened only at the posterior pole, and its protrusion was significant mainly in the vertical direction. Focal choroidal thickening at the posterior pole, which we speculate includes congenital scleral changes, may affect the pathophysiology of CSC.
