Status of papillomacular bundle in optic disc pit associated with maculopathy.

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
purposeTo study the status of papillomacular bundle (PMB) in eyes with optic disc pit.
methodsElectronical medical records and optical coherence tomography (OCT) data of patients with optic disc pit were retrospectively reviewed. The PMB defect was measured on structural en face OCT projections. Length of ellipsoid zone defect (EZD) in the centre of the macula was measured on a horizontal cross-sectional scan passing through the centre of the fovea. Correlation between parameters under study, central retinal thickness (CRT), and visual acuity was calculated.
resultsThirteen eyes of thirteen patients (seven males and six females, mean age 31.3 ± 11.6 years) with optic disc pit and maculopathy and two eyes of two patients without maculopathy (2 females, 21 and 23 years) were included. The defect of PMB was found in 12 out 13 eyes (92.3%) with maculopathy. In those eyes EZD was found in 11 out of 13 eyes (84.6%). Among 12 eyes with PMB defect, 11 eyes had EZD (92.6%), one eye had PMB defect without EZD, while no eyes had EZD without PMB defect (p = 0.01). Mean PMB defect width was 0.86 ± 0.64 mm. Mean length of EZD was 425 ± 423 µm. The length of EZD and PMB width were highly correlated (r = 0.71, p < 0.001). Two eyes without maculopathy demonstrated no papillomacular bundle defect.
conclusionPapillomacular bundle defect may be one of the essential characteristics in the optic disc pit with maculopathy and can be associated with the alteration of the central retina in these eyes.
