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

Purpose: To assess subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) and choroidal vascularity index (CVI) profile in the Iranian healthy population and assessment of the inter-eye difference in this regard. Methods: In a cross-sectional study, 141 healthy subjects underwent an assessment of refraction and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), axial length (AL), and measurement of the intraocular pressure. The imaging of the choroid was performed using the enhanced-depth imaging mode of Spectralis optical coherence tomography from the foveal slab to measure SFCT and calculate CVI. Results: A total of 282 eyes of 141 healthy subjects (59.6% men, mean age of 60.86 ± 11.46 years) enrolled in the current study. The mean SFCT of the right and left eye was 247.40 ± 70.37 and 251.25 ± 72.19, respectively. The mean CVI of the right and left eye was 62.63 ± 3.77 and 63.19 ± 3.91, respectively. None of the measured parameters had statistically significant differences between the left and right eyes. In both univariate and multivariate regression analysis, CVI was significantly associated with BCVA ( Conclusions: This was the first investigation to assess the SFCT and CVI simultaneously in the Iranian population to establish a normative database for future studies. CVI was less variable than SFCT in a healthy population, and no statistically significant differences existed between the left and right eyes.
