Dark Adaptometry Kinetics Differentiates Age-Related Macular Degeneration from Central Serous Chorioretinopathy.

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
Purpose: To assess the diagnostic utility of dark adaptometry (DA) rod intercept time (RIT) to differentiate age-related macular degeneration (AMD) from central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR). Design: Retrospective consecutive case series. Participants: Consecutive patients with a clinical diagnosis of AMD or CSCR who were ≥50 years of age. Methods: The study included patients who had completed a DA study in ≥1 eye measured at 5° superior to the fovea on the retina. All patients underwent a comprehensive retina examination, including OCT assessment of the macula. Main Outcome Measures: Patients were classified based on their RIT, with an RIT >6.50 minutes considered a delay. Results: The study included 67 patients with AMD and 25 with CSCR. Patients with AMD tended to be older (73.8 ± 8.9 years vs. 65.0 ± 7.2 years, Conclusions: Prolonged dark adaptation, indicated by a longer RIT, is capable of distinguishing individuals with AMD from CSCR, 2 conditions that share similar fundus features. Future investigations are warranted to assess the effectiveness of this noninvasive technique for AMD screening.
