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

purposeWhile central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) frequently resolves after the first episode, in 30-50% of cases, subretinal fluid (SRF) persists and can substantially impair vision. To identify persistence predictors, this study compared demographic, clinical, and imaging data between patients with resolution and SRF persistence.

methodsRetrospective data were collected at baseline and follow-up from 308 eyes of 295 patients with CSCR in collaboration with the Macula Society CSCR Study Group. Patients were divided into a resolved (RG) and a persistent CSCR group (PG). Patients with known recurrence after resolution were excluded. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) biomarkers including central macular thickness (CMT), subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT), neurosensory detachment height (NSD), Haller layer thickness, inner choroidal thickness (ICT), and choroidal vascularity index (CVI) were analysed.

resultsPG had 148 eyes and RG had 160 eyes. Mean age in PG vs RG was 47.62 ± 11.63 vs. 44.89 ± 10.12 years (p = 0.029). Mean presenting symptom duration was significantly greater in PG than RG (8.67 ± 23.33 vs. 4.33 ± 31.18 months) (p = 0.005). There was a higher frequency of complex cases (21.6%) in PG (p < 0.001). Baseline mean CMT (358.11 ± 157.02 microns) and NSD height (175.78 ± 134.34 microns) were significantly lower in PG (p = 0.007). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that each additional year of age was associated with a 22.3% increase in the odds of having persistent SRF.

conclusionAge at presentation, symptom duration, baseline CMT and NSD height may serve as practical risk stratifiers to identify eyes at high risk for chronicity in CSCR. KEY MESSAGES: What is known Delayed presentation and absence of early therapy predispose eyes to chronic CSCR. SFCT plays a predictive role in persistent CSCR. What is new Age at presentation is a significant predictor of persistent SRF. Baseline CMT and NSD height may serve as practical risk stratifiers to identify eyes at high risk for chronicity.
