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: This study investigated the distribution of fundus tessellation density (FTD) in a Chinese pediatric population and its potential in reflecting early myopic maculopathy (tessellated fundus). Methods: Participants were enrolled from kindergartens, primary schools, and middle schools, with cluster sampling in Shanghai, China. A series of ophthalmic examinations was conducted. Based on fundus photograph, FTD was quantitatively assessed using an artificial intelligence algorithm, and tessellated fundus was diagnosed by well-trained ophthalmologists. Results: A total of 14,234 participants aged four to 18 years were included, with 7421 boys (52.1%). Tessellated fundus was observed in 2200 (15.5%) participants. The median of FTD was 0.86% (range 0.0-42.1%). FTD increased with age and axial length. In the logistics regression, larger FTD was independently associated with tessellated fundus (P < 0.001). The area under curves of receiver operating characteristic curve for categorizing tessellated fundus using FTD was 0.774, and the cutoff point of FTD was 2.22%. Conclusions: The density of fundus tessellation was consistent with the severity of myopia. FTD could help diagnose the early stage of myopic maculopathy, tessellated fundus, providing a new pattern for myopia screening and detection of early myopic fundus changes. Translational Relevance: Quantification of fundus tessellation with artificial intelligence could help detect early myopic maculopathy.
