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 demonstrate the utility of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in the emergency department (ED) setting. Observations: We present five patients who presented with ophthalmic complaints to the ED at an academic trauma center and whose management was immediately impacted after undergoing imaging with spectral-domain OCT. Conclusions and importance: OCT is an effective imaging modality for facilitating the appropriate triage and diagnosis of patients with ophthalmic complaints in the ED.
