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

Aim: This study compares retinal thickness measurements in healthy eyes using one SD-OCT and two SS-OCT devices to assess differences and consistency for clinical application. Methods: Forty-eight eyes with a mean age of 28.15 ± 8.85 years were enrolled. Retinal thickness was measured using Heidelberg Spectralis SD-OCT, Svision VG200 SS-OCT, and TowardPi En Face SS-OCT. Normally distributed data were presented as mean ± SD; non-normal data as median (P25-P75). Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) and Bland-Altman analysis were used to assess agreement, with a 7 μm error threshold. Results: Significant differences were found between the three devices ( Conclusion: The measurements of macular retinal thickness using SD-OCT and SS-OCT devices showed poor consistency and cannot be used interchangeably. However, measurements obtained from different SS-OCT devices demonstrated good consistency. To enhance the accuracy of results, it is recommended to maintain consistency in the devices used for follow-up examinations in the same patient.
