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

backgroundThe goal of the present study was to identify differences in retinal microvasculature between healthy Caucasians and healthy Asians in order to provide a better understanding of the variability between different ethnic groups.

methodsIn this cross-sectional study, 191 healthy Chinese and Caucasian participants were enrolled. They underwent optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) scans with Zeiss Cirrus HD-5000 Spectral-Domain with AngioPlex. Linear regression models were used to investigate the association of OCTA metrics with potential risk factors.

resultsWhereas participants in both groups are comparable in age and sex, Chinese participants had a longer axial length, higher spherical equivalent, higher intraocular pressure (

conclusionsThere are significant differences in the retinal vasculature between Caucasian and Asian eyes as measured using OCTA. This needs to be considered when developing normative databases. Whether such findings relate to inter-racial differences in the incidence of retinal vascular disease remains to be shown.
