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

The SARS-CoV-2 infection manifests with diverse clinical manifestations, with severity potentially influenced by the viral variant. COVID-19 has also been shown to impact ocular microcirculation in some patients, but whether this effect varies by viral lineage remains unclear. This prospective study compared clinical features and ocular parameters assessed via optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in patients recovering from SARS-CoV-2 infections during the dominance of two distinctive viral lineages, Alpha (B.1.1.7) and Delta (B.1.617.2), and compared them to a control group. The following parameters were measured: vessel density (VD) in the superficial capillary plexus (SCP), deep capillary plexus (DCP), and choriocapillaris (CCP) using OCTA, with a manual assessment of the foveal avascular zones in the SCP (FAZs) and DCP (FAZd). A control group was also included. Among 63 patients in the Alpha group and 41 in the Delta group, no eye-related symptoms were reported during the examination. However, the Delta group showed significantly lower VD in the SCP and DCP across all quadrants (
