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

To evaluate the intra- and interdevice repeatability of microperimetry (MP) assessments in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME) two consecutive MP testings (45 fovea-centered stimuli, 4-2 staircase strategy) were performed using MP3 (NIDEK, Aichi, Japan) and MAIA (CenterVue, Padova, Italy), respectively. Intraretinal fluid (IRF) and ellipsoid zone (EZ) thickness were automatically segmented by published deep learning algorithms. Hard exudates (HEs) were annotated semi-automatically and disorganization of retinal inner layers (DRIL) was segmented manually. Point-to-point registration of MP stimuli to corresponding spectral-domain OCT (Spectralis, Heidelberg Engineering, Germany) locations was performed for both devices. Repeatability was assessed overall and in areas of disease-specific OCT biomarkers using Bland-Altmann coefficients of repeatability (CoR). A total of 3600 microperimetry stimuli were tested in 20 eyes with DME. Global CoR was high using both devices (MP3: ± 6.55 dB, MAIA: ± 7.69 dB). Higher retest variances were observed in stimuli with IRF (MP3: CoR ± 7.4 dB vs. ± 6.0 dB, p = 0.001, MAIA: CoR ± 9.2dB vs. ± 6.8 dB, p = 0.002) and DRIL on MP3 (CoR ± 6.9 dB vs. ± 3.2 dB, p < 0.001) compared to stimuli without. Repeatabilities were reduced in areas with thinner EZ layers (both p < 0.05). Fixation (Fuji classification) was relatively unstable independent of device and run. These findings emphasize taking higher caution using MP in patients with DME.
