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

Purpose: To evaluate the biomarker-specific intradevice and interdevice repeatability of microperimetry (MP) examinations in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). Design: Cross-sectional study. Subjects: Twenty eyes of 20 individuals with nAMD. Methods: Patients underwent 2 consecutive MP assessments on the MP-3 (photopic) and Macular Integrity Assessment ([MAIA], mesopic), each in a randomized sequence. The pointwise sensitivity values were obtained using a 45-stimuli grid and were coregistered with the OCT volumes. Intraretinal fluid (IRF), subretinal fluid, and pigment epithelium detachment (PED) were quantified with deep learning, whereas subretinal hyperreflective material (SHRM) and ellipsoid zone (EZ) loss were manually annotated. Intradevice repeatability was assessed using Bland-Altman plots, coefficient of repeatability (CoR) and intraclass correlation coefficient. Differences in fixation stability and examination time were calculated using mixed-effect models. Main Outcome Measures: Intradevice and interdevice repeatability and impact of OCT biomarkers on repeatability. Results: Analysis of a total of 3600 stimuli points revealed a CoR of ±6.37 decibel and ±5.68 for MP-3 and MAIA, respectively. Presence of OCT biomarkers had a significant impact on repeatability in the MP-3 for IRF ( Conclusions: OCT biomarkers IRF, SHRM, and EZ loss significantly impacted repeatability under photopic and mesopic testing conditions with the MAIA also revealing a statistically significant association for PED. These findings demonstrate the viability of the MP devices to detect functional variability associated with nAMD biomarkers. Repeatability between consecutive MP tests in 2 commonly used MP devices showed good-to-excellent metrics in nAMD, which further supports the use of MP as a viable outcome measure in clinical trials and practice.
