Reticular Pseudodrusen: Impact of Their Presence and Extent on Local Rod Function in Age-Related Macular Degeneration.

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
Purpose: To understand the spatial relationship between local rod-mediated visual function and reticular pseudodrusen (RPD) in eyes with large drusen. Design: Retrospective cross-sectional study. Participants: One eye with large drusen (>125 μm) each from 91 individuals with intermediate age-related macular degeneration, with and without RPD. Methods: All participants underwent dark adaptation testing using a dark-adapted chromatic perimeter, where visual sensitivities were measured over 30 minutes of dark adaptation after photobleach. The rod intercept time (RIT; a measure of dynamic rod function) and pointwise sensitivity difference (PWSD; a relative measure of rod- compared with cone-mediated function) was determined at multiple retinal locations, and their association with the overall (central 20° × 20° region) and local (2° diameter region centered on the location tested) extent of RPD and drusen (quantified using multimodal imaging) was examined. Main Outcome Measures: Association between overall and local extent of RPD and drusen with RIT and PWSD at each retinal location tested. Results: In a multivariable analysis, delayed RIT was associated with an increasing overall ( Conclusions: Local rod-mediated function was associated with the overall, rather than local, extent of RPD in eyes with large drusen, suggesting that there may be widespread pathologic changes in eyes with RPD that account for this.
