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

Ophthalmic optical coherence tomography (OCT) has achieved remarkable clinical success but remains sequestered in ophthalmology specialty offices. Recently introduced robotic OCT systems seek to expand patient access but fall short of their full potential due to significant imaging workspace and motion planning restrictions. Here, we present a next-generation robotic OCT system capable of imaging in any head orientation or posture that is mechanically reachable. This system overcomes prior restrictions by eliminating fixed-base tracking components, extending robot reach, and planning alignment in six degrees of freedom. With this robotic system, we show repeatable subject imaging independent of posture (standing, seated, reclined, and supine) under widely varying head orientations for multiple human subjects. For each subject, we obtained a consistent view of the retina, including the fovea, retinal vasculature, and edge of the optic nerve head. We believe this robotic approach can extend OCT as an eye disease screening, diagnosis, and monitoring tool to previously unreached patient populations.
