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.

Abstract

Background: This study aims to identify ocular fundus blood flow biomarkers, using swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA), that reflect choroid plexus (CP) changes in patients with white matter hyperintensities (WMHs). Design: This is a retrospective analysis based on prospective data. Methods: The study was an analysis of collected data from patients with WHMs who underwent multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and SS-OCTA (FRESH-CSVD study, NCT06431711). Automatic segmentation was used to calculate the volumes of CP and WMHs. The bilateral CP asymmetry index was defined as the value of the difference in volume between the right and left CP, divided by the volume of the left CP. The association between SS-OCTA parameters, CP volume and its asymmetry index, and WMH volume (WMH-V) was analyzed using a LASSO-derived logistic regression model, with mediation analysis to explore their connections. Results: The study included 240 eyes from 137 patients. A significant correlation was found between the bilateral CP asymmetry index and WMH-V (β = -6.03, 95% CI: -11.36 to -0.70, Conclusion: These findings suggest that the morphological changes of the CP have a significant impact on the ONH blood flow in patients with WMHs. The ONH CC PA shows potential as a biomarker for detecting morphological changes of CP among WMHs patients.
