Choroidal vascularity features of fundus tessellation in adults with high myopia.
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 4 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 investigate alterations in choroidal vascularity index among highly myopic adults with fundus tessellation, utilizing optical coherence tomography.
methodsTotal of 143 highly myopic adults (234 eyes) with fundus tessellation were collected in this cross-sectional study, which was stratified into different lesion groups based on the novel tessellated fundus classification. Subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT), choroidal luminal area (LA), stromal area (SA), total choroidal area (TCA), and choroidal vascularity index (CVI) were analyzed utilizing optical coherence tomography (OCT) with enhanced depth imaging (EDI) mode, enabling precise quantification of these parameters.
resultsComparison analysis demonstrated notable distinctions in spherical equivalent (SE), axial length (AL), and SFCT across the four tessellation grades (p < 0.001). Analysis of the choroidal vascularity parameters, including LA, TCA, and CVI, demonstrated notable disparities across the four groups (p < 0.001), while no significant variations were observed in SA when comparing Grade 1 versus Grade 2, as well as Grade 2 versus Grade 3 (p > 0.05). Logistic regression analyses illustrated that the higher grade of tessellated exhibited a positive association with AL (OR = 1.701, p = 0.027), while negatively associated with SFCT (OR = 0.416, p = 0.007), LA (OR = 0.438, p = 0.010) and CVI (OR = 0.529, p = 0.004). Multiple regression analyses demonstrated a significant negative association between CVI and both SE and AL after adjusting for age, while positively associated with SFCT (p < 0.05).
conclusionSubtle choroidal vascularity changes may have a meaningful contribution to the development and progression of fundus tessellation. CVI and LA dramatically decreased during the early stages of tessellation development and maintained a relatively stable status when in the severe tessellated grades.
