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
Significance: Ultra-widefield scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (UWF SLO), a confocal scanning-based ophthalmic imaging modality widely used in clinical and research ophthalmology, offers an ultra-wide field of view, high resolution, and real-time dynamic imaging. However, multiwavelength imaging-induced transverse chromatic aberration (TCA) is markedly exacerbated in the peripheral retina, causing ghosting artifacts of retinal vessels and other critical anatomical structures. This severely limits image quality and the reliability of downstream quantitative analysis. Aim: We aim to correct TCA in multiwavelength UWF SLO images using a subregion-based maximum similarity search registration method, thereby eliminating vascular ghosting artifacts to enhance image quality for reliable clinical analysis. Approach: In this study, we address the nonuniform TCA between the red and green channels in multiwavelength UWF SLO imaging through three core steps: grid-based subregion sampling, high-precision control point extraction via local optimal matching guided by zero-mean normalized cross-correlation (ZNCC), and global perspective transformation model fitting. The effectiveness of the proposed method was validated on fundus image samples acquired by our in-house-developed UWF SLO system, through both qualitative visual assessment and quantitative evaluation metrics. Results: The proposed correction method significantly mitigated TCA in UWF SLO images and greatly improved the spatial alignment of retinal vascular contours between the red and green channels. Validation on 11 fundus images showed a significant enhancement in vascular matching performance: the mean dice similarity coefficient increased by 26.7% relatively (from Conclusions: The proposed subregion-based maximum similarity search registration method effectively corrects TCA in multiwavelength UWF SLO fundus images, significantly improves image quality, and provides reliable technical support for clinical ophthalmic practice and downstream quantitative fundus image analysis.
