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

introductionChanges in binocular function after anatomical resolution of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) following reduced-fluence photodynamic therapy (RFPDT) remain unclear. We characterized 12-month stereopsis outcomes and the associated clinical and optical coherence tomography (OCT) factors.

methodsThis retrospective single-center study included 51 eyes of 51 patients with unilateral CSC treated with RFPDT. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), Titmus Stereo Test (TST), TNO stereotest (TNO), and central retinal thickness (CRT) were assessed at baseline and at 3, 6, and 12 months. Stereopsis (TST and TNO) was the primary longitudinal outcome; BCVA and CRT were secondary. Change over time was assessed with linear mixed-effects models. Associations of baseline and concurrent clinical and OCT factors with stereopsis were examined using Spearman correlation and multivariable linear regression.

resultsImprovements in TST, TNO, and BCVA were evident by 3 months (all P < 0.001), with no significant further change thereafter except a small BCVA gain by 12 months (P = 0.006). At 12 months, abnormal stereopsis remained in 35% (TST) and 57% (TNO) of eyes. Larger baseline serous retinal detachment (SRD) area was independently associated with worse concurrent TST and TNO, but not with 12-month stereopsis. Greater 12-month outer retinal layer thickness (ORLT) was associated with better concurrent TNO in an adjusted model (P = 0.029). In eyes with good baseline acuity, longer baseline photoreceptor outer segment (POS) length was the only independent predictor of better 12-month TST.

conclusionStereopsis improved during the 12 months following RFPDT but often remained abnormal, even in eyes with good BCVA. Different structural parameters were associated with stereopsis by disease stage-subretinal fluid extent during active disease and residual outer retinal structure after resolution-and in these good-acuity eyes, pre-treatment outer retinal structure predicted 12-month stereopsis. Together, these findings suggest that stereopsis may capture residual visual dysfunction that is not fully reflected by BCVA.
