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

Purpose: To evaluate association of retinal morphological alteration with retinal sensitivity (RS) based on a point-to-point correlation with optical coherence tomography (OCT) and microperimetry in a 10-year follow-up of patients with central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC). Methods: Macular OCT and microperimetry of patients with an acute CSC episode were acquired prospectively at disease onset and 12 weeks after fluid resorption. Ten years later patients were invited for a cross-sectional follow-up visit including Spectralis-OCT and microperimetry. Multivariable models evaluated point-to-point correlation of RS2 and OCT parameters. Results: Thirty patients were included in the acute setting and 23 patients were included for the 10-year follow-up. In the acute setting, RS2 is associated with subretinal fluid (SRF; estimate = 37.01; P = 0.014), SRF height (estimate = -32.95; P < 0.001), irregularities in the ellipsoid zone (estimate = -35.28; P < 0.001), and interdigitation zone (estimate = -14.86; P < 0.001), patient age (estimate = -1.26; P = 0.03), and prior photodynamic therapy (estimate = -33.14; P = 0.001). Baseline parameters affecting RS2 after fluid resolution were SRF height (estimate = -11.93; P < 0.001), retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)/Bruch's membrane thickening (estimate = -55.34; P < 0.001), and prior photodynamic therapy (estimate = -118.05; P < 0.001). For the 10 -year follow-up RPE detachment (estimate = -89.02; P < 0.001), RPE atrophy (estimate = -377.14; P < 0.001), female sex (estimate = -81.50; P = 0.014), and prior photodynamic therapy (estimate = -162.18; P < 0.001) were associated with worse RS2. Conclusions: Long-term functional outcome in CSC is mainly determined by chronic structural damage, especially RPE atrophy and persistent RPE detachment. The association with prior photodynamic therapy reflects disease chronicity rather than treatment-related harm. Early recognition of high-risk morphological features may reduce irreversible functional loss.
