Associations between retinal thickness and background factors in eyes without retinal diseases.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Retinal thickness measured using optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a major parameter to evaluate retinal diseases. However, it may be influenced by systemic factors. We retrospectively analyzed OCT images and blood sample data from 266 participants (49.1 ± 10.5 years) including 181 (68.0%) males who underwent medical checkups at Fujita Medical Innovation Center, Tokyo. Those with retinal pathological findings were excluded. Males had thicker retinas in the center and inner circles of Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study grid (P < 0.01 for all). Mean thicknesses of the superior areas were greater than those of the inferior areas in inner and outer circles (P < 0.01 for both). However, there were eyes with thicker inner inferior areas (72 eyes, 27.1%), which was observed more frequently in males (P = 0.018). Thicker retinas were associated with lower hemoglobin A1c levels in the center (P = 0.012), and inner temporal (P = 0.042) and inferior (P = 0.047) areas; lower creatinine levels in the inner temporal (P = 0.002), superior (P = 0.026), and inferior (P < 0.001) areas; and higher high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in the inner nasal (P = 0.029) and inferior (P = 0.029) areas after adjusting for age and sex. These results may be kept in mind in evaluating OCT data during clinical practice and future clinical trials, although further studies are warranted.
