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

purposeTo investigate the interocular differences in the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness and retinal vasculature in non-pathological myopic patients with anisometropia.

methodsThis retrospective cross-sectional study included 100 eyes from 50 participants aged 11 to 40 with anisometropic myopia. All participants underwent comprehensive ocular examinations, and then the RNFL thickness, ONH parameters, macular vessel density (MVD), optic disc vessel density (OVD), and optic disc perfusion density (OPD) were obtained using the Cirrus spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). The participants were divided into two groups based on the degree of anisometropia: Group 1 had the interocular difference of spherical equivalent (SE) over 1.50 diopters (D), and Group 2 had the interocular difference of SE between 1.00 D and 1.50 D. The interocular differences in retinal parameters were analyzed and compared between the two studied groups.

resultsThe superior and inferior RNFL were thinner, and the temporal RNFL was thicker in the more myopic eyes. The interocular differences of the temporal RNFL thickness, nasal MVD, temporal and inferior OVD, and temporal OPD were correlated with the interocular differences of SE and AL. The interocular differences of the temporal RNFL thickness, OVD, and OPD in Group 1 were more significant than in Group 2.

conclusionThis study revealed that the temporal peripapillary RNFL was thicker in more myopic eyes, accompanied by higher OVD and OPD. These regional retinal alterations in the temporal peripapillary area may occur before the decrease in RNFL thickness and the onset of myopic pathological changes.
