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 the genetic and clinical characteristics of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) in patients with and without steroid use.

methodsA total of 407 consecutive patients with CSC were included. Demographic data and clinical factors, including subfoveal choroidal thickness, bilateral involvement, descending tracts, pachydrusen, fibrin, and dome-shaped pigment epithelial detachment, were obtained. Variants of complement factor H (CFH)

resultsOf the total patients, 48 (11.8%) were steroid users. The majority of males were non-steroid users (82.5%) than steroid users (58.3%) (p = 9.8 × 10

conclusionsExcept for the male/female ratio, there were no significant differences in the clinical presentation or genetic characteristics, including variants of the CFH gene, between the two groups.
