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 investigate the association between choroidal vascular hyperpermeability (CVH) and vortex vein anastomoses in the macula of patients with central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC). Design: A retrospective comparative study. Subjects: A total of 118 eyes of 106 patients with CSC. Methods: All patients underwent choroidal en face imaging using widefield swept-source OCT. The eyes were classified into watershed zone (WZ) and non-WZ groups. The horizontal WZ through the macula was identified in the WZ group, whereas it was ill-defined in the non-WZ group, because of marked anastomoses between the superior and inferior vortex veins. The number and distribution of CVH areas, as detected on indocyanine green angiography, were evaluated and compared between the 2 groups. Main Outcome Measures: Association between CVH and vortex vein anastomoses in CSC. Results: Overall, 118 eyes were classified into the WZ (n = 81) and non-WZ (n = 37) groups. The mean number of CVH areas per eye was significantly higher in the non-WZ group than in the WZ group (4.95 vs. 2.43; Conclusions: Central serous chorioretinopathy eyes with an ill-defined WZ due to marked vortex vein anastomoses had more multifocal and extensive CVH areas than those with an identified WZ. The presence of vortex vein anastomoses may affect the number and distribution of CVH areas in eyes with CSC.
