Investigation of Choroidal Circulation Hemodynamics Using Laser Speckle Flowgraphy After Periocular Skin Warming.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
purposeThe aim of the current study was to evaluate changes in choroidal circulation hemodynamics after periocular skin warming at 40°C using laser speckle flowgraphy (LSFG).
methodsTwenty-four right eyes of 24 healthy participants were included. Changes in choroidal circulation hemodynamics were determined using LSFG to evaluate the mean blur rate (MBR) of the macula, which represents choroidal blood flow velocity. Systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean blood pressure (MBP), heart rate (HR), ocular perfusion pressure (OPP), and subfoveal choroidal thickness (SCT) were also measured, and sympathetic nerve status was assessed via salivary α-amylase (sAA) activity at baseline and after periocular skin warming.
resultsImmediately after warming, SBP, DBP, MBP, HR, OPP, sAA activity, and MBR were significantly lower than baseline. SCT was significantly increased.
conclusionIn the normal eye, the decrease in sympathetic nerve activity induced by the relaxing effects of periocular skin warming reduces systemic circulatory activity and choroidal circulatory dynamics.
