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

objectivesRetinal vein occlusion (RVO) is the second most common retinal vascular disease worldwide, and the retinal perfusion status is closely related to the prognosis of the disease. Macular perfusion status is particularly correlated with visual acuity. This study aims to investigate the changes in macular perfusion indicators in RVO using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) and analyze the correlation between macular perfusion status and visual acuity.

methodsThis cross-sectional study included 41 RVO patients, who were divided into 2 groups based on the occlusion site: 18 cases in the central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) group and 23 cases in the branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) group. Additionally, they were categorized into ischemic RVO (23 cases) and non-ischemic RVO (16 cases) groups based on the presence of ischemia (2 eyes were excluded due to hemorrhage obscuring the peripheral retina, making it impossible to confirm the area of non-perfusion). A control group of 29 healthy individuals matched by sex and age was also recruited. Macular perfusion indicators were measured using OCTA, and the correlation between macular perfusion status and visual acuity was analyzed.

resultsCompared with healthy eyes, RVO eyes showed an increased foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area and significantly reduced superficial and deep vessel density (

conclusionsMacular perfusion status is significantly reduced in RVO eyes compared to healthy eyes, which negatively impacts and limits visual acuity in RVO patients. Eyes with ischemic RVO have poorer visual acuity and macular perfusion status than those with non-ischemic RVO. OCTA is advantageous for observing vascular morphology and quantifying macular perfusion status, making it an effective tool for assessing disease progression.
