Microvascular Changes in Exfoliation Syndrome: OCT Angiography Analysis of Peripapillary Density and Foveal Avascular Zone.

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 investigate retinal vascular alterations in unilateral and bilateral pseudoexfoliation by assessing macular and peripapillary vascular density, as well as foveal avascular zone parameters. Patients and Methods: This prospective study included 77 eyes from 39 patients with unilateral pseudoexfoliation, 54 eyes from 27 patients with bilateral pseudoexfoliation, and 50 eyes from 25 healthy controls. All participants underwent OCT-A imaging with the Topcon ImageNet 6 system. Only scans with signal quality ≥ 6/10 were analyzed. Superficial and deep retinal capillary plexus densities were quantified within a 6 × 6-mm macular area, and foveal avascular zone dimensions were manually measured at the superficial plexus. Peripapillary vascular density was also evaluated. Statistical significance was set at Results: Age and gender were comparable across groups ( Conclusion: Pseudoexfoliation is associated with widespread macular and peripapillary microvascular compromise, supporting its bilateral nature even in clinically asymmetric cases.
