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

Optoretinography is an emerging method for detecting and measuring functional responses from neurons in the living human retina. Its potential applications are compelling and broad, spanning clinical assessment of retinal disease, investigation of fundamental scientific questions, and rapid evaluation of experimental therapeutics for blinding retinal diseases. Progress in all these domains hinges on the development of robust methods for quantifying observed responses in relation to visible stimuli. In this work, we describe an optoretinographic imaging platform: full-field swept-source optical coherence tomography with adaptive optics, measure cone responses in two healthy volunteers to a variety of stimulus patterns, and propose a simple model for predicting and quantifying responses to those stimuli.
