Quantitative optical coherence tomography angiography assessments in the fellow eyes of those with central serous chorioretinopathy.
Article in BMC ophthalmology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundTo analyze the vessel density (VD) of the retina and choriocapillaris (CC) layer and the structure of the foveal avascular zone (FAZ) in the fellow eyes of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) patients by using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).
methodsThis was a case-control study. Unilateral CSC patients and age-matched healthy subjects were recruited from the Affiliated Eye Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University between July 2016 and July 2021. All eyes were divided into three groups: acute CSC (aCSC), chronic CSC (cCSC), and healthy controls. Both aCSC and cCSC were again divided into two subgroups: the affected eyes and the fellow eyes. In this study, all parameters of VD and FAZ were measured by self-software of OCTA.
resultsA total of 231 eyes of 137 subjects were included, with 47 aCSC patients, 47 cCSC patients, and 43 healthy controls. In the fellow eyes of CSC, the retinal VD was significantly lower (all P < 0.05), and the FAZ was significantly larger (all P < 0.05) in the cCSC group than in healthy controls, while no difference was detected in the CC layer. There was no significant difference between the aCSC group and healthy controls in all OCTA parameters. In the affected eyes of CSC, the superficial retinal vessel density (SRVD) was significantly higher (all P < 0.05) in healthy controls than in the aCSC and cCSC groups, while the deep retinal vessel density (DRVD) was significantly lower (all P < 0.05) and the FAZ was larger (all P < 0.05) in the cCSC group than in the aCSC group and healthy controls. A liner regression equation was established: Y (BCVA, best corrected visual acuity) = 3.692-0.036✱X1 (DRVD-Fovea)-0.031✱X2 (FD-300, vessel density around the 300 μm width of the FAZ), R
conclusionBased on OCTA measurements, this study revealed that the retinal microvascular network was impaired even in the fellow eyes of those with cCSC, which should arouse attention to the observation of unilateral CSC.
