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: The impact of swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA) scanning speeds (interscan times) on the quantification of choriocapillaris flow deficit percentages (CCFD%) was studied in eyes with nonexudative age-related macular degeneration. Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of 30 pairs of scans from 24 age-related macular degeneration subjects enrolled in an ongoing prospective SS-OCTA imaging study. Patients underwent imaging with same day scans at two scanning speeds: 100 kHz and 200 kHz (corresponding with 5.0-ms and 2.5-ms interscan times, respectively). Best practices for CC slab processing and CCFD quantification were implemented, and the compensation level was optimized for each scan. CCFD% measurements were obtained from the 3-mm and 5-mm fovea-centered circles. Results: The mean CCFD% measurements from the 3-mm fovea-centered circles for the 100-kHz and 200-kHz scans were 14.20% and 17.17% respectively, and 10.77% and 12.86% for the 5-mm circles. An agreement analysis showed a significant bias with mean values of 2.96% and 2.09% for the 3-mm and 5-mm circles. The limits of agreement extended predominantly in the positive direction with values of -1.96% to 7.89% and -0.60% to 4.78% in the 3-mm and 5-mm circles, respectively, that emphasize the systematically higher CCFD% recorded using the 200-kHz pattern. No confidence interval for the bias included zero, supporting the significant systematic bias across measurement strategies. Conclusions: SS-OCTA scanning speeds have a significant impact on CCFD% quantification, with slower speeds yielding a lower CCFD%, likely due to the detection of slower CC flow, because of the higher associated interscan times. Translational Relevance: When following and comparing choriocapillaris flow deficit percentage measurements over time, the same scanning speed should be used at each visit.
