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

To evaluate the distribution of choroidal thickness (CT) and its trend with age in healthy people using 120° ultra-wide field swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (UWF SS-OCTA). In this cross-sectional observational study, healthy volunteers underwent single imaging of the fundus with UWF SS-OCTA at a field of view (FOV) of 120° (24 mm × 20 mm) centered on the macula. The characteristics of CT distribution in different regions and its changes with age were analyzed. A total of 128 volunteers with a mean age of 34.9 ± 20.1 years and 210 eyes were enrolled in the study. The thickest mean choroid thickness (MCT) was located at the macular region and supratemporal region, followed by the nasal side of the optic disc, and thinnest below the optic disc. The maximum MCT was: 213.40 ± 36.65 μm for the group aged 20-29, and the minimum MCT was: 162.11 ± 31.96 μm for the group aged ≥ 60. After the age of 50, MCT was significantly and negatively correlated decreased with age (r = - 0.358, p = 0.002), and the MCT in the macular region decreased more remarkably compared to other regions. The 120° UWF SS-OCTA can observe the distribution of choroidal thickness in the range of 24 mm × 20 mm and its variation with age. It was revealed that MCT decreased more rapidly in the macular region relative to other regions after 50 years old.
