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

purposeTo evaluate the diagnostic utility of fundus autofluorescence (FAF) imaging in identifying and characterizing phenotypically classified inherited macular dystrophies. In this way, we aim to provide methods by which eye care practitioners can link FAF imaging and other clinical results or imaging modalities to aid their clinical decision-making. CASE REPORTS: Phenotypically identified inherited macular dystrophies, including Stargardt disease and related ABCA4 mutations, Best vitelliform dystrophy, pattern dystrophies, and cone and cone-rod dystrophies, are discussed.

conclusionsWe provide evidence that the use of FAF alone and in combination with other clinical results and imaging modalities can assist in the diagnosis of a range of inherited macular dystrophies.
