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

Purpose: To report baseline demographic associations and novel intereye correlations of retinal perfusion in the Framingham Heart Study (FHS). Design: Cross-sectional study. Participants: One thousand eighteen participants were recruited. Of these, 962 participants (mean age 75 ± 7, 59% female, 1720 undilated eyes) had any OCT angiography (OCTA) data. Methods: Participants from the community-based FHS were recruited between 2020 and 2022. Foveal-centered 3 × 3 mm Main Outcome Measures: Vessel skeleton density, VAD, and flux. Results: One thousand two hundred forty-four eyes (73%) had usable OCTA data with 52% acquired from the right eye. Although there was a significant correlation of retinal perfusion measures between 2 eyes of an individual, this was only moderate in magnitude (R = 0.6, Conclusions: Retinal capillary perfusion measures between 2 eyes of an individual share only moderate correlation even after adjusting for image quality and scan level artifacts. This has important implications in study design and interpretation of data from unilaterally performed studies on the retinal circulation. These data suggest that intereye differences in retinal perfusion have physiological and disease-related causes that warrant further investigation.
