Structural changes in the retinal layers of patients with Steinert disease.

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
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the different retinal layers of the posterior pole protocol and peripapillary areas in optical coherence tomography (OCT) to identify significant changes attributable to Steinert disease. Methods: We analyzed 128 eyes of healthy control subjects and 79 eyes of patients with Steinert disease. We performed the posterior pole and Nsite analytics peripapillary protocols on all subjects and compared thicknesses in the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), ganglion cell layer (GCL), inner plexiform layer (IPL), inner nuclear layer (INL), outer plexiform layer (OPL), outer nuclear layer (ONL), retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), and complete retina (RETINA). Results: Patients with Steinert disease showed significant alterations in retinal layer thickness compared with age-matched controls. Overall, a generalized thickening of retinal layers was observed; significant thickening of the RNFL was also found in the temporal area of the optic nerve and in the papillomacular bundle, which comprises the retinal ganglion cell axons connecting the macula with the optic nerve. Conclusions: Steinert disease is associated with retinal structural alterations in retinal layer structure, OCT may provide potential structural markers of retinal involvement in Steinert disease.
