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

objectiveTo compare peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFLT), macular foveal thickness, and perimacular RNFLT in children with hyperopic amblyopia using optical coherence tomography (OCT).

methodsThis retrospective case-control study included 140 children (214 eyes) with hyperopic amblyopia and 60 normal children (120 eyes) examined from June 2023 to June 2024. Amblyopia severity was classified according to best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in the amblyopic eye as mild (20/32-20/40), moderate (>20/40-20/100), or severe (>20/100). OCT was used to measure peripapillary RNFLT, foveal thickness, and perimacular RNFLT. Correlations with axial length and spherical equivalent refraction were analyzed, and multivariable logistic regression was performed.

resultsCompared with controls, children with moderate and severe amblyopia had significantly greater peripapillary RNFLT, macular foveal thickness, and inner-ring perimacular RNFLT (

conclusionOCT demonstrates progressive thickening of selected peripapillary and macular structural parameters with increasing amblyopia severity. These parameters may serve as objective adjunctive markers for severity assessment and follow-up in children with hyperopic amblyopia.
