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

The human choriocapillaris (CC) plays an essential role in supporting the overlying photoreceptor and retinal pigment epithelial cells and in maintaining overall retinal health. Disruption of CC structure and function is implicated in many retinal diseases, including age-related macular degeneration. Despite recent advances in ophthalmic imaging technologies, a full understanding of disease mechanisms remains elusive due to the inability to visualize CC microstructure. Here, we present a 3.4 MHz adaptive optics-optical coherence tomography angiography (AO-OCTA) approach for mapping the human choriocapillaris at high resolution to address the primary limitations of existing methodologies for CC imaging. We optimized our AO-OCTA acquisition protocols and offered guidelines for performing AO-OCTA for vessel imaging. Our approach achieves high resolution and high contrast CC imaging with single volume acquisition that takes <1 second, allowing rapid montaging and quantification over a 34° field of view. The proposed AO-OCTA method offers a more complete view of the outer retinal neurovascular complex, opening tremendous opportunities to investigate chorioretinal diseases.
