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

Purpose: We explored the relationship between retinal thicknesses and vessels using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT)/ OCT angiography (OCTA) and clinical outcomes in occipital lobe infarction (OI). Methods: A total of 52 OI patients and 105 controls underwent macular OCT/OCTA scans covering a 6 × 6 mm Results: OI patients showed reduced GCIPL thickness and lower SVC density but higher DVC density (all Conclusion: GCIPL thinning may account for the effect of infarct diameter on visual acuity in OI patients. Future prospective studies are needed to assess OCT/OCTA as a potential marker of visual loss in OI.
