Assessment of Choroidal Structure in Third-Trimester Pregnant Women.
Article in Journal of current ophthalmology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 the effects of pregnancy on choroidal vascularity index (CVI) and choroidal thickness (CT) in the third trimester. Methods: This prospective and cross-sectional study included 51 eyes of 51 healthy pregnant women in the third trimester and 50 eyes of 50 healthy age-matched participants as a control group. Full ophthalmologic examinations, including best-corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure, slit-lamp biomicroscopy, axial length (AL), and anterior chamber depth (Lenstar LS900 HAAG-STREIT AG, Switzerland), and refractive error measurements were performed. CT was measured manually with optical coherence tomography at the fovea, 1500 μm temporal, and 1500 μm nasal to the fovea. The total choroidal area (TCA), luminal choroidal area (LCA), and stromal choroidal area (SCA) were evaluated by the binarization method. The ratio of the luminal area to the TCA was used as the CVI value. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in AL or age between the two groups ( Conclusion: Remarkable hemodynamic and hormonal changes take place during pregnancy. A significant increase in the total choroidal, luminal, and stromal areas was detected in pregnant women during the third trimester, although the CVI and CT demonstrated no difference between the groups.
