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

aimTo evaluate retinal microcirculation changes at the 3

methodsThis prospective longitudinal observational study included 78 eyes of 39 patients with sellar tumors and 78 eyes of 39 age- and gender-matched healthy controls. Standard automated perimetry and OCT-A were performed preoperatively and at 3- and 12-month follow-ups. Visual field (VF) recovery was assessed using mean deviation (MD) values, and correlations between preoperative structural parameters and postoperative visual outcomes were analyzed.

resultsBaseline OCT-A values revealed significantly reduced papillary and foveal vessel densities in almost all quadrants in sellar tumor patients compared to controls (

conclusionAlthough decompressive surgery improves visual function, retinal microvascular alterations appear to deteriorate over time. These findings suggest that irreversible neurovascular damage occurs despite surgical intervention, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and treatment in patients with chiasmal compression. OCT-A may serve as a valuable prognostic tool for assessing structural and functional recovery in these patients.
