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

purposeThis study aimed to investigate the peripheral retinal and choroidal thicknesses in eyes with reticular pseudodrusen (RPD).

methodsImaging data of ultrawide-field swept-source optical coherence tomography taken from 40 patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) were analyzed. Thirty-nine eyes of 20 patients had RPD (RPD group) and 39 eyes of 20 patients had no RPD (control group). Eyes with RPD were divided into localized/intermediate and diffuse types according to the fundus distribution. The retinal and choroidal thicknesses were measured at the fovea and six peripheral points in each eye, and the results were statistically analyzed.

resultsThe mean ages were 78.0 ± 6.1 years in the RPD group and 74.4 ± 7.2 years in the control group. The RPD group showed a thinner retina only at the nasal point (p = 0.002) than the control group. The choroid was significantly thinner in the RPD group than in the control group at most peripheral points, except for the far temporal and far inferior points. Diffuse and localized/intermediate types of RPD eyes showed no significant difference in choroidal thickness, except at the nasal point, which was thinner in the diffuse type (p = 0.049).

conclusionIn eyes with RPD, most peripheral retinal thicknesses were not different from those of eyes with AMD without RPD; however, most peripheral choroidal thicknesses were thinner regardless of the fundus distribution status of the RPD. Nasal choroidal thickness may be associated with RPD severity.
