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

Purpose: To investigate the characteristics of microperimetry and optical coherence tomography (OCT) in congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB), as well as their structure-function association. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 32 eyes from 32 participants with CSNB, comprising 18 with complete CSNB and 14 with incomplete CSNB, along with 36 eyes from 36 CSNB-unaffected controls matched for age, sex, and spherical equivalent. Using MP-3 microperimetry, central retinal sensitivity was assessed within a 20° field, distributed across six concentric rings (0°, 2°, 4°, 6°, 8°, and 10°). OCT was used to analyze retinal and choroidal thickness. The study aimed to assess the overall and ring-wise retinal sensitivity, as well as choroidal and retinal thickness in CSNB and CSNB-unaffected controls, with a secondary focus on the relationship between retinal sensitivity and microstructural features on OCT. Results: In comparison with CSNB-unaffected subjects, the overall and ring-wise retinal sensitivity as well as choroidal thickness were reduced in patients with CSNB (P < 0.001). Moreover, the central sensitivity in incomplete CSNB group was lower than in complete CSNB group (25.72 ± 3.93 dB vs. 21.92 ± 4.10 dB; P < 0.001). The retinal thickness in the CSNB group was thinner outside the fovea compared with the CSNB-unaffected group. Multiple mixed regression analyses revealed that point-to-point retinal sensitivity was significantly correlated with BCVA (P = 0.002) and the corresponding retinal thickness (P = 0.004). Conclusions: Examination of retinal sensitivity and OCT revealed different spatial distribution profiles in CSNB and its subtypes. In CSNB eyes, retinal sensitivity on microperimetry was associated with retinal thickness on OCT.
