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

backgroundFluorescein angiography (FA) has been a pivotal tool for studying the pathophysiology of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in vivo. We examined the course of ROP using FA to assess the predictive value of angiographic features.

methodsThis is an observational retrospective cohort study of eyes screened for ROP with a binocular indirect ophthalmoscope and FA. RetCam fundus imaging and video digital fluorescein angiography were performed in the neonatal intensive care unit of Santa Maria Hospital of Perugia. The masked grading of the FA images was retrospectively conducted by two ROP expert ophthalmologists.

resultsA total of 80 eyes of 40 patients were included for this study. Among the angiographic features evaluated, leakage, shunts, and tangles were predictive of the development of treatment-requiring ROP (

conclusionsFA can add to our understanding of the evolution of vascular abnormalities in the course of ROP and can help predict which eyes will go on to treatment.
