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

Significance: Reliable quantification of retinal arterial blood flow is important for diagnosing and monitoring ocular and systemic diseases. Existing techniques are limited by invasiveness, motion artifacts, or a lack of quantitative flow estimation. Aim: The aim is to assess the repeatability, reproducibility, and robustness of laser Doppler holography (LDH) for measuring retinal arterial hemodynamics. Approach: We acquired LDH data at 67 kHz in healthy volunteers (14 eyes intra-day and 4 eyes inter-day) and quantified blood volume rate, resistivity index (RI), and vessel diameter. Additional measurements evaluated sensitivity to axial displacement and gaze lateral positioning. Results: LDH successfully measured retinal arterial blood volume rate in all eyes, with a coefficient of variation (CoV) of 18.5% for the mean arterial blood volume rate and a CoV of 11% for RI. Inter-day reproducibility remained acceptable ( Conclusions: LDH provides reliable and robust measurements of retinal arterial hemodynamics and maintains performance under typical imaging variations (axial or gaze position). These findings support its potential for longitudinal studies and future clinical translation.
