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 investigate the choroidal vascular index (CVI) and the choroidal structural changes beyond the subfoveal area (analyzed across a 20 mm×24 mm scanning area) in eyes with chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (cCSC) eyes with macular neovascularization (MNV) using ultra-widefield swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (UWF SS-OCTA).

methodsThis retrospective comparative study included 46 cCSC with MNV eyes (With MNV group), 52 cCSC without MNV eyes (Without MNV group), and 40 age-matched healthy controls. UWF SS-OCTA imaging with a 20 mm×24 mm protocol was used to quantify CVI across 9 subfields (superotemporal, superior, superonasal, temporal, central, nasal, inferotemporal, inferior, and inferonasal). The CVI was compared among the groups.

resultsWith MNV group demonstrated significantly older mean age than Without MNV group (56.2±6.1

conclusionCVI decreases, and choroidal structural changes extend beyond the subfoveal area in cCSC with MNV eyes, providing with an imaging evidence for the important role of choroidal ischemia in the pathogenesis of MNV in cCSC.
