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

backgroundTo investigate the retinochoroidal and optic nerve head (ONH) microstructural and microvascular age-related changes in healthy subjects by examining the ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer thickness (GC-IPLT), vessel density (VD), and their ratio.

methodsIn this cross-sectional study, 203 subjects (20-69 years old) were divided into five age groups: 20-29 (G1), 30-39 (G2), 40-49 (G3), 50-59 (G4), and 60-69 (G5) (G5). Following a thorough ophthalmological examination, enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT) scanning was performed along with OCT angiography (OCTA) in a 6 × 6 mm

resultsAfter adjusting for axial length the GC-IPLT varied significantly among groups, with thickness peaking in G3 (39.63 ± 1.14 µm) and then decreasing to the lowest in G5 (34.15 ± 5.93 µm) (

conclusionsThe retinochoroidal microstructure and microvasculature ratios display an inverted U-shaped pattern with age, which could be linked to a considerably decreased GC-IPLT versus capillary plexus VDs with age, notably in subjects in their sixties.
