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

Optic disc drusen (ODD) are benign acellular calcified deposits that typically form early in life. They do not normally cause symptoms, so ODD are often detected incidentally as an abnormal or potentially swollen optic disc appearance. Distinguishing ODD from true optic disc edema is essential, and now, multimodal imaging, particularly enhanced-depth imaging optical coherence tomography, can detect ODD accurately and reduce the need for further investigations. The origins of ODD are unknown, although the potentially unique finding of heavily calcified extracellular mitochondria in the optic disc raises hypotheses about local astrocyte clearance of dysfunctional mitochondria. Strong familial clustering suggests dominant or polygenic inheritance, and yet the most interesting candidate gene association is the recessive
