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

Background: Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is preferential cocurated in males, however the associations between sex hormones and CSC incidence or progression remains unclear. The sex hormone concentration assessments in CSC cases and healthy controls will update the knowledge in CSC management. Methods: This case-control study included 59 CSC cases and 30 healthy controls, from January 2019 to December 2020. The CSC cases would be defined as spontaneous resolved if the subretinal fluid were absorbed within three months. The concentrations of total testosterone (TT), free testosterone (FT), estradiol (E2), sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), progesterone, leuteinizing hormone (LH) and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) were detected in all the participants. The relationships between sex hormone concentrations and CSC-related characteristics were analyzed with Pearson correlation analyses. Results: Significantly increased TT, FT, FT/E2 ratio, SHBG concentrations as well as decreased DHEA-S level were detected in non-resolved CSC group compared with the control group. Comparing with the resolved ones, it was found that TT, FT and SHBG concentrations were increased in the non-resolved CSC. A significant positive correlation between TT concentrations and CMT (R Conclusion: Different concentrations of TT, FT, FT/E2 ratio, DHEA-S and SHBG were detected in resolved and non-resolved CSC cases. Sex hormones were related to CSC symptom durations and related parameters.
