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

The current study investigates the influence of intersubject variability in ocular characteristics on the mapping of visual field (VF) sites to the pointwise directional angles in retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) bundle traces. In addition, the performance efficacy on the mapping of VF sites to the optic nerve head (ONH) was compared to ground truth baselines. Fundus photographs of 546 eyes of 546 healthy subjects (with no history of ocular disease or diabetic retinopathy) were enhanced digitally and RNFL bundle traces were segmented based on the Personalized Estimated Segmentation (PES) algorithm's core technique. A 24-2 VF grid pattern was overlaid onto the photographs in order to relate VF test points to intersecting RNFL bundles. The PES algorithm effectively traced RNFL bundles in fundus images, achieving an average accuracy of 97.6% relative to the Jansonius map through the application of 10th-order Bezier curves. The PES algorithm assembled an average of 4726 RNFL bundles per fundus image based on 4975 sampling points, obtaining a total of 2,580,505 RNFL bundles based on 2,716,321 sampling points. The influence of ocular parameters could be evaluated for 34 out of 52 VF locations. The ONH-fovea angle and the ONH position in relation to the fovea were the most prominent predictors for variations in the mapping of retinal locations to the pointwise directional angle (
