Variability of relationship between inner-retinal structural changes and visual dysfunction in optic neuropathy.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) displays the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) or macular ganglion cell and inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) thickness below 1st percentile in red color. This finding generally indicates severe inner-retinal structural changes and suggests poor visual function. Nevertheless, some individuals show preserved visual function despite these circumstances. This study aimed to identify the correlation between best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and inner-retinal thickness based on OCT parameters in various optic neuropathy patients with extremely low RNFL/GCIPL thickness, and determine the limitation of OCT for predicting visual function in these patients. 131 patients were included in the study. The mean BCVA in logMAR was 0.55 ± 0.70 with a broad range from - 0.18 to 3.00. Among the OCT parameters, temporal GCIPL (r = - 0.412) and average GCIPL (r = - 0.366) exhibited the higher correlations with BCVA. Etiological comparisons of optic neuropathies revealed significantly lower BCVA in LHON (all p < 0.05). Idiopathic optic neuritis (ON) and MOGAD exhibited better and narrower BCVA distributions compared to the other optic neuropathies. OCT had limited utility in reflecting BCVA, notwithstanding significant inner-retinal thinning after optic nerve injuries. Caution is needed in interpreting OCT findings, especially as they relate to the etiology of optic neuropathy.
