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 compare the cup-to-disc ratio (CDR) and optic disc morphology between eyes with congenital cataract and eyes without cataract in children under 3 years old.

methodsThis study included 63 patients with bilateral congenital cataract (mean age of 55.72±46.50wk, 44 were male), 33 patients with unilateral cataract (mean age of 56.63±33.23wk, 16 were male), and 31 age-matched healthy children (mean age of 55.80±29.29wk, 17 were male). Fundus photographs were taken with the RetCam 3 system. The horizontal-to-vertical disc diameter ratio (HVDR) was used as an index to describe the oval form of the optic disc.

resultsThe horizontal cup-to-disc ratio (HCDR), vertical cup-to-disc ratio (VCDR) and HVDR of cataract eyes in unilateral groups were significantly smaller than those of the normal eyes (

conclusionOur results show that eyes with congenital cataract has a smaller HVDR and the form of the optic disc tended to be vertical-oval in young children.
