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: This study aimed to quantitatively evaluate changes in vascular parameters in a 12 mm × 12 mm region centered on the fovea with wide-field swept-source optical coherence tomographic angiography (WF SS-OCTA), and establish their correlations with structural parameters in acute primary angle closure (APAC) eyes, as well as in fellow primary angle-closure suspect (PACS) eyes. Methods: In this retrospective study, WF SS-OCTA was utilized to measure vascular parameters in a 12 mm × 12 mm region centered on the fovea in 31 patients (31 APAC eyes and 31 fellow PACS eyes). Vascular parameters included vessel density (VD) of the superficial vascular complex (SVC) and deep vascular complex (DVC). Structural parameters comprised macular ganglion cell complex (GCC) thickness and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) thickness. Pre- and postoperative (3 month after APAC attack) differences between APAC and PACS eyes were statistically analyzed. Results: No significant differences were observed in vascular density or structural parameters in PACS eyes pre- and postoperatively ( Conclusion: Wide-field SS-OCTA revealed spatially distinct vascular responses in APAC eyes: underlying axonal loss with concomitant SVC compromise in the 6-12 mm annular region centered on the fovea and partial DVC recovery at 3 months after APAC attack, highlighting WF SS-OCTA's utility in monitoring APAC progression.
