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

purposeWe measured objective cyclodeviation in patients aged 10-90 years and evaluated differences between age groups, sexes, and eye sides using the disc-fovea angle (DFA). STUDY

designRetrospective observational study

methodsPatients who underwent fundus photography at Kozawa Eye Hospital and Diabetes Center between January 2016 and August 2021 were included. The participants aged 10-90 years were allocated into 10-year age groups. Each age group comprised 400 eyes from 200 participants (100 male and 100 female participants), resulting in a total of 3,600 eyes from 1,800 participants. DFA, defined as the angle between a horizontal line passing through the macula and the line joining the central fossa and papillary center, was analyzed using the Angle Tool in ImageJ software. When the horizontal line passing through the macula was higher than the line joining the central fossa and papillary center, the eye was classified as having excyclotorsion, indicated by a positive sign.

resultsDFA increased with age, from 6.37 ± 3.56° in participants in their 10s to 8.46 ± 3.96° in those in their 90s (p < 0.0001). DFA was significantly different between sexes (male vs. female: 7.25 ± 3.60° vs. 7.65 ± 3.71°; p < 0.0001). Additionally, a significant difference was observed between eye sides (right vs. left eye: 7.13 ± 3.69° vs. 7.77 ± 3.60°; p < 0.0001).

conclusionDFA increases with age, exhibits higher values in female individuals, and shows greater measurements in the left eye.
