Comparison of Deep Optic Nerve Head Structures and Optic Disc Morphology in Unilateral Peripapillary Intrachoroidal Cavitation.

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.
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 compare background characteristics, deep optic nerve head (ONH) structures, and optic disc morphology in participants with unilateral peripapillary intrachoroidal cavitation (PICC). Design: Retrospective cross-sectional study. Participants: One hundred six eyes of 53 participants with unilateral PICC determined on OCT. Methods: Twelve ONH-centered OCT radial slices were used to manually measure Bruch membrane opening (BMO) area, BMO ovality, scleral flange opening (SFO) area, SFO ovality, and SFO/BMO offset magnitude which represents the degree of SFO/BMO centroid displacement and clinically corresponds to the peripapillary atrophy-gamma and delta zones. Optic disc tilt, rotation, area, and longest and shortest diameters were measured from line scanning laser ophthalmoscopy images. Main Outcome Measures: Paired Results: Peripapillary intrachoroidal cavitation eyes showed significantly larger BMO area ( Conclusions: Although AL was similar between PICC eyes and their contralateral eyes, significant intereye differences in deep ONH structures and optic disc morphology were observed. Peripapillary intrachoroidal cavitation eyes exhibited a more elliptically expanded BMO, larger SFO, greater SFO/BMO misalignment, and greater optic disc tilt, which are structural changes associated with border tissue elongation. Our findings indicate a strong association between the presence of PICC and myopia-related characteristic deep ONH remodeling, providing a foundation for understanding structural abnormalities in myopic eyes.
