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

BACKGROUND/

aimsThe study aims to evaluate choroidal vascular changes in younger patients with myopia using ultrawidefield swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA).

methodsOverall, 724 eyes of 362 participants (177 males, 185 females, age: 32.43±6.20 years) underwent SS-OCTA imaging (24×20 mm). The eyes were divided into normal, low myopia (LM), moderate myopia (MM), high myopia and superhigh myopia groups according to the spherical equivalent refraction (SER). Changes in choroidal vascular thickness (ChVT) and density (ChVD) in nine grids of the fundus were analysed using the latest version of the built-in analysis software.

resultsAxial length (AL) showed a negative correlation with SER (

conclusionMyopia has a significant impact on choroidal vascular structure, resulting in spatiotemporal differences. Using SS-OCTA with a new version of the built-in analysis software and a study with a larger sample cohort may aid in providing more authentic information on choroidal vascular changes in eyes with myopia.
