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
Purpose: To explore the consistency and efficacy of optical coherence tomography (OCT) for the evaluation of ocular torsion angle compared to fundus photography in children. Method: Patients who had undergone fundus photography and OCT within 1 day were included in this study. The fundus photographs were taken using a fundus camera and then imported into the Adobe Photoshop 2021 software. The fovea-disc angle (FDA) was calculated manually. OCT was used to automatically detect the centers of the optic disc and fovea, and the software then calculated the FDA on the same device. The means and ranges of variables were calculated in this study. Group differences were assessed using the paired Results: A total of 100 patients were included and the objective measurements of the ocular torsion angles via OCT and fundus photography were similar. The mean FDA of 32 patients aged 2-6 years old was -7.84 ± 4.67° via fundus photography and -6.71 ± 6.19° via OCT. The mean FDA of 68 patients aged 6-18 years old was -8.47 ± 5.22° via fundus photography and -8.97 ± 5.41° via OCT. According to the receiver operational characteristic (ROC) curves of the FDA for diagnosing ocular extorsion, the area under the ROC curve was greatest for OCT (0.943, 95% CI: 0.902-0.984), followed by fundus photography (0.92, 95% CI: 0.86-0.979). With the Youden method, the optimal cut-off point for diagnosing ocular extorsion with OCT was -6.35°. OCT demonstrated a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 49.2%. Furthermore, the optimal cut-off point for diagnosing ocular extorsion with fundus photography was -6.5°. Conclusion: The comparison of FDAs showed good agreement between fundus photography and OCT. Thus, OCT can evaluate ocular torsion angle effectively in children.
