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 non-syndromic and syndromic forms of

methodsObservational, cross-sectional, multicenter study. All patients underwent best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) measurement, OCT (Spectralis HRA + OCT, Heidelberg Engineering) and OCTA (OCT DRI Topcon Triton, Topcon Corporation). We compared subfoveal choroidal thickness (SCT), choroidal vascularity index (CVI), presence of cystroid macular edema (CME), macular vessel density (VD) at the superficial and deep capillary plexa, as well as VD of the radial peripapillary capillary (RPC) network, between syndromic and non-syndromic patients with

resultsThirty-four eyes from 18 patients (7 females) were included. Thirteen patients (72.2%) were affected by Usher syndrome type 2, whereas the remaining 5 subjects (27.8%) had non-syndromic retinitis pigmentosa (nsRP). Syndromic patients were younger than nsRP (

conclusionsDespite their younger age, patients with Usher syndrome type 2 displayed similar choroidal and microvascular changes compared to those with nsRP.
