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.
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: This proof-of-concept study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of targeted, image-guided microperimetry (IGMP) by integrating optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fundus autofluorescence (FAF) for lesion mapping and functional assessment in retinal atrophic diseases. Methods: Twenty-two eyes were identified, of which 17 had early geographic atrophy (GA) and 5 had Stargardt disease (SD). Disease transition zones (TZs) on OCT and FAF were annotated onto en face infrared images. These were then exported with microperimetry (MP) assessments to custom MATLAB applications. IGMP patterns were thereafter created and imported using macular integrity assessment (MAIA) system and Nidek-MP3/S microperimeters for subsequent scans. Mean procedure and examination times (minutes), retinal sensitivity (decibel [dB]), approach feasibility, and algorithm compatibility of targeted IGMP were reported as outcomes. Results: Targeted IGMP was quicker than the standard 10-2 grid for both SD and GA lesion assessments. SD cases showed longer mean procedure and examination times and lower mean retinal sensitivity in all zones compared with GA lesions. The targeted IGMP procedure was lengthier for Nidek-MP3/S (29.2 ± 7.1 minutes) than MAIA (17.4 ± 4.3 minutes), although the examination took longer on MAIA (4.0 ± 1.0 minutes) than on Nidek-MP3/S (3.6 ± 1.2 minutes). Overall, the IGMP approach is feasible (100.0%) and the algorithm is compatible (100.0%) on both MP devices for all subjects tested. Conclusions: This study establishes the feasibility of an IGMP workflow in providing targeted functional assessments in retinal degenerative diseases. Further validation in larger cohorts is needed to assess its broader clinical applicability. Translational Relevance: Our approach may help enhance structure-function correlation and optimize the efficiency of MP integration for clinical trials.
