Peripapillary choroidal vascularity of paediatric myopic eyes with peripapillary hyperreflective ovoid mass-like structures.
Article in Acta ophthalmologica, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
purposeTo assess the peripapillary choroidal vasculature in paediatric myopic patients with and without peripapillary hyperreflective ovoid mass-like structures (PHOMS).
methodsThis prospective study includes 60 eyes of 60 myopic (spherical equivalent [SE] <-1.00 dioptre [D]) patients with (n = 30) and without (n = 30) PHOMS (PHOMS [+] and PHOMS [-] groups, respectively), and 30 eyes of 30 age- and sex-matched emmetropic children (control group). Peripapillary choroidal parameters, including total choroidal (TCA), luminal (LA), and stromal areas (SA) and choroidal vascularity index (CVI) calculated from vertical and horizontal single-line enhanced depth imaging-optical coherence tomography scans centred on optic nerve head.
resultsPeripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer thicknesses were not different between the groups (p > 0.05). In the PHOMS (+) group, TCA, LA and SA were lower, and CVI was higher in all quadrants compared to the control (p < 0.05). However, only the mean TCA and LA in the inferior and nasal quadrants and the mean SA in the nasal quadrant were lower in PHOMS (+) than in PHOMS (-) (p < 0.05). In the PHOMS (-) group, higher CVI was observed in all quadrants except temporal compared to the control group. Although the mean CVI of the PHOMS (+) group was also higher than in the PHOMS (-) group, this difference was not statistically significant.
conclusionThis study indicates that choroidal parameters differ in paediatric myopic patients with PHOMS. Further studies with larger sample sizes are needed to understand the details of choroidal parameters in eyes with PHOMS.
