Genetic influence on choroidal vascularity index.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeTo investigate the heritability of genetic influence on macular choroidal vascularity index (CVI).
methodsTotal choroidal area (TCA), luminal area (LA), and CVI was measured using horizontal scan of spectral-domain optical coherence tomography with enhanced depth imaging in the 373 healthy twin participants. Characteristics of the participants were investigated, including age, sex, axial length, hypertension, diabetes, drinking habits, and smoking status. Univariate and subsequent multivariate regression analyses were performed to evaluate the associations of these factors with TCA, LA, and CVI.
resultsPatients who were older and had a higher intraocular pressure, higher diastolic blood pressure, and lower pulse pressure showed associations with lower CVI (p<0.001, p = 0.014, p = 0.005, and p = 0.015, respectively). The covariate-adjusted heritability (±standard error) of the CVI was 0.716 ± 0.091, and the heritabilities of the TCA and LA were 0.691 ± 0.089 and 0.634 ± 0.100, respectively.
conclusionThe TCA, LA, and CVI are highly heritable.
