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

aimTo examine the subclinical alterations in the retina and choroid between patients with 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19)-related lung involvement and the healthy control group.

methodsIn this prospective case-control study, 85 cases with lung involvement due to COVID-19 and 50 healthy cases were included. Best-corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure measurement, and anterior and posterior segment examination were performed on both eyes for each individual. Choroidal and retinal changes were examined and recorded by optical coherence tomography angiography.

resultsAll choroidal thickness measurements of the COVID-19 group showed no statistically significant difference when compared to healthy individuals. When vascular density and perfusion density values were compared, there was a decrease in the average of these values in the COVID-19 group, although it was not statistically significant (

conclusionAlthough our data are not statistically significant, the decrease in vascularity and perfusion and the accompanying FAZ expansion are detected in the acute period (1
