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

Background: Retinal vasculopathy with cerebral leukoencephalopathy and systemic manifestations (RVCL-S) is a rare small vessel disease marked by vision loss and neurocognitive deterioration. We sought to characterize the relatedness of the underlying retinal structure and cerebral disease. Methods: Participants with RVCL-S underwent optical coherence tomography (OCT) and brain MRI at baseline and 2 years. Total macular volume (TMV) and central subfield thickness (CST) were generated from OCT images. Neuroimaging metrics of ischemic brain injury included white matter hyperintensity (WMH) volume, white matter microstructure (mean diffusivity), and normalized white matter volume. Associations between retinal and neuroimaging metrics were assessed. Results: Eleven RVCL-S participants were included. Reduction in TMV was associated with reduced normalized white matter volume ( Conclusion: A metric of retinal structure, TMV, may provide a marker of cerebral disease severity in RVCL-S. Additional studies are needed to demonstrate whether early measures of TMV predict cerebral disease progression.
