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

backgroundLattice degeneration (LD) is a well-established precursor lesion of retinal detachment, a condition with often poor prognosis that can lead to permanent vision loss. Early identification of LD is clinically significant for risk assessment. This study aimed to investigate the associations between LD and ocular biometric as well as demographic parameters, and to develop a risk assessment framework. The ultimate goal is to identify individuals at genuinely high risk who may benefit from tailored follow-up or treatment.

methodsIn this cross-sectional study, 1776 subjects from 7634 screened individuals at the Eye Health Management Center of Ineye Hospital, Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, were enrolled. Comprehensive ophthalmic examinations were conducted. Chi-square tests compared LD prevalence across groups. Independent risk factors were identified through univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses.

resultsThe overall prevalence of LD was 13.3%, with unilateral cases (9.3%) exceeding bilateral cases (4.0%). Prevalence was significantly higher in myopic (15.5%) versus non-myopic individuals (10.5%,

conclusionsThe overall prevalence of LD was 13.3%. Given that AL is a key independent risk factor for LD, it is recommended that individuals with elongated AL undergo peripheral retinal screening. This facilitates early detection and enables prophylactic treatment for those at high risk of retinal detachment.
