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
purposeRecent advances in retinal imaging have revealed vasculostructural alterations in fellow eyes of patients with Coats disease, thereby challenging the traditional concept of Coats disease as a strictly unilateral disorder. To further explore the phenotype of this retinal disease, this study investigated whether subclinical vascular changes can be detected in fellow eyes using Widefield Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (WF-OCT-A).
methodsThis trial prospectively recruited Coats disease patients as well as age- and sex-matched healthy controls from University Hospital Münster. Participants underwent WF-OCT-A imaging, enabling imaging of large peripheral retinal areas. Imaging analysis was carried out using AngioTool.
resultsNineteen patients with Coats disease and nineteen matched healthy controls were included. Quantitative analysis revealed no significant differences in the superficial capillary plexus (SCP) between fellow eyes and control eyes regarding flow density (p = 0.56), number of junctions (p = 0.79), total vessel length (p = 0.61), average vessel length (p = 0.75), number of endpoints (p = 0.96), or lacunarity (p = 0.41).
conclusionIn this cohort, WF-OCT-A did not identify detectable retinal vascular alterations in clinically unaffected fellow eyes of patients with Coats disease. This finding argues against previously noted prominent subclinical retinal vascular abnormalities in these eyes.
