Comparative analysis of RNFL and optic disc measurements across three OCT devices in healthy eyes: Implications for device standardization and clinical practice.

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
purposeThe study aimed to compare retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and optic disc measurements obtained using three optical coherence tomography (OCT) devices-Heidelberg Spectralis, Zeiss Cirrus 5000, and Optovue Solix Essential-in healthy individuals, and to assess interdevice agreement and clinical applicability.
methodsThis prospective study involved 70 healthy participants. RNFL thickness (mean, superior, inferior, nasal, and temporal) and optic disc parameters (rim area, disc area, and vertical cup-to-disc ratio) were measured on the same day using the three OCT devices. Scans with poor quality or segmentation errors were excluded. Statistical comparisons were made using the Friedman and Wilcoxon tests, while interdevice agreement was evaluated using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs).
resultsSignificant differences in RNFL thickness were found between devices in all segments ( P < 0.001). The highest RNFL thickness was observed with the Heidelberg device in the superior segment (Median: 128 µm), while the lowest was recorded with Optovue (median: 115.5 µm). Optic disc parameters, including rim area and disc area, were larger with the Optovue device, whereas the vertical cup-to-disc ratio was greater with the Zeiss device. Despite significant differences, ICC analyses indicated high interdevice agreement for RNFL (ICC = 0.97) and optic disc parameters (ICC = 0.90).
conclusionAlthough RNFL and optic disc values differed among devices, the strong interdevice agreement indicates that OCT data remain clinically interpretable across platforms. With appropriate awareness of device-specific variability, these measurements appear reliable for patient monitoring and research, though studies in clinical cohorts are needed to clarify their relevance to optic nerve disease.
