[Effects of Susac syndrome on the central vascular structure of the retina-An optical coherence tomography angiography study].
Article in Die Ophthalmologie, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
backgroundSusac syndrome (SS) describes an endotheliopathy of vessels in the central nervous system. Retinal involvement plays a central role in the manifestation of the disease.
objectiveThis case-control study investigated the macular microvasculature in patients with chronic SS compared to controls using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). MATERIAL AND
methods12 eyes of 12 patients with SS were compared with age-matched healthy control subjects with regard to their OCT angiographic parameters. The flow density (FD) of different macular layers, foveal avascular zone (FAZ) parameters and central retinal thickness and volume values were compared between the two groups.
resultsThe FD of the choriocapillaris was reduced in Susac patients compared to healthy controls. The FD values of the superficial and deep capillary plexus of the inner retina, parameters of the FAZ as well as central retinal thickness and volume showed no significant differences between the two groups. DISCUSSION: Treated chronic SS does not appear to significantly affect the vascular and structural composition of the central inner retina; however, differences in the choriocapillaris indicate changes in deeper, highly vascularized capillary layers.
