Fundus vascular arcades angle reflects choroidal thickness in highly myopic children and adolescents.

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
objectivesTo identify the role of fundus vascular arcades angle (VAA) in reflecting choroidal thickness (ChT) of highly myopic children and adolescents.
methodsParticipants aged 5 to 18 yrs with high myopia (spherical equivalent, SE ≤ -5.0 D) were enrolled and followed up for one year from the Shanghai Child and Adolescent Large-scale Eye Study. The VAA in the range of one papillary diameter (PD) as well as 2PD away from the central point of optic disc was recognized and measured by artificial intelligence from fundus photographs.
resultsFinally, 277 highly myopic participants were included in the analysis. The mean VAA (1PD) was 128.38 ± 9.56°, and the mean VAA (2PD) was 110.25 ± 11.97°. For those with larger VAA, the choroidal thickness around macula (mChT) or papillary (pChT) was thicker (P for trend < 0.05). After adjusting for age and gender, thinner ChT was independently associated with smaller VAA (P < 0.001). For those with more decrease of VAA, the thinning of ChT was more remarkable (P < 0.05). In the regression analysis, more change of pChT was independently associated with more change of VAA (P < 0.01). After adjusting for other related parameters, 1°change of VAA (1PD) or VAA (2PD) accounted for 0.855 mm or 0.719 mm change of pChT.
conclusionsFundus VAA was closely associated with choroidal thickness in highly myopic paediatric population. It could serve as an alternative indicator of choroid thickness in the fundus screening for evaluating the risk of pathological changes of high myopia.
