Association of cilioretinal artery perfusion length with central visual acuity and vascular circulation in central retinal artery occlusion.
Article in International journal of retina and vitreous, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeThis study aims to investigate the effects of varying lengths of cilioretinal artery perfusion on central visual acuity and fundus angiography circulation time in patients with central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO).
methodsA retrospective analysis included 582 CRAO patients, including 87 patients with cilioretinal arteries. Cilioretinal arteries were classified by direction into nasal and temporal groups, with the temporal group further subdivided into four subtypes based on the optic disc-macula distance (DMD): 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, and 4/4 DMD. Differences in basic information, visual acuity, and circulation time among the groups were analyzed.
resultsPatients in the 4/4 DMD group were the oldest among the temporal subgroups (P < 0.05). The 4/4 DMD group demonstrated the best BCVA, while the Nasal-1/4DMD group had the worst (P < 0.05); notably, 13.33% of patients in the 4/4 DMD group had no light perception. There was no statistically significant difference in the circulation time of four groups (both arm-retinal circulation time and retinal trunk-to-branch filling time, P > 0.05).
conclusionCRAO patients with cilioretinal artery supply less than 1/4 DMD have poor outcomes. 4/4DMD group was associated with better visual outcomes, but extensive macular perfusion by the cilioretinal artery did not invariably prevent severe visual loss during the acute phase.
