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

Background: This study aims to evaluate the optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) findings in cases with degenerative and tractional lamellar macular holes (LMH). Methods: Two subtypes of LMH cases were included. Seventeen patients had the degenerative subtype, whereas 18 patients had the tractional subtype of LMH. Twenty healthy individuals were enrolled as the control group. The foveal avascular zone (FAZ) and retinal vascular densities in the superficial, deep capillary, and choriocapillary plexuses were analyzed and compared with fellow eyes and healthy controls using OCTA. Results: The mean FAZ area was wider in the degenerative subtype (0.33 ± 0.14 mm Conclusion: The finding of microvascular changes between degenerative and tractional LMH subtypes highlights their distinct pathologies and supports recent changes in the classification and terminology of this macular condition.
