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

purposeResearch on the correlation between ocular dominance and macular structure and function is inconsistent. This clinical observational study explored the effect of ocular dominance on retinal structure and the correlation between binocular structural asymmetry and ocular dominance.

methodsForty healthy young adults (aged 20-29 years) were enrolled. Ocular dominance, refractive error, pattern visual evoked potential (PVEP), multifocal electroretinography (mfERG), swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT), and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA)tests were performed.

resultsAmong the 40 subjects, 24 (60%) were right-eye dominant. The dominant eye had a larger amplitude density of Ring 1 in the mfERG (198.52 ± 51.43 vs. 175.92 ± 50.17, p = 0.003), larger density of the superficial capillary plexus of the macula within the 4-12 mm diameter range (dominant eyes vs. nondominant eyes: 4-6 mm: 80.89 (78.24,83.58) vs. 78.93 (74.85,81.77), p < 0.001; 7-9 mm: 73.01 (69.22,75.90) vs. 71.75 (69.43,74.37), p = 0.009; 10-12 mm: 55.79 ± 5.40 vs. 54.46 ± 7.03, p = 0.033), and a thicker choroidal layer (dominant eyes vs. nondominant eyes: 7-9 mm: 289.70 ± 58.85 vs. 279.86 ± 59.16, p = 0.045; 10-12 m: 270.05 ± 44.87 vs. 259.64 ± 43.50, p = 0.014). The right eye had a higher choroidal vascular density (right eyes vs. left eyes: 0-1 mm: 95.45 (84.56,98.67) vs. 91.04 (79.79,97.04), p = 0.018) and lower superficial retinal vascular density (right eyes vs. left eyes: 10-12 mm: 54.29 ± 5.98 vs. 55.82 ± 6.34, p = 0.027) and choroidal vascular density (right eyes vs. left eyes: 7-9 mm: 90.98 ± 2.89 vs. 92.18 ± 2.61, p = 0.041).

conclusionOcular dominance influenced macular foveal function, parafoveal vessel density and choroidal thickness. The functional and morphological differences in ocular dominance and laterality are inconsistent.
