Fig. 3From: Microperimetry as a diagnostic tool for the detection of early, subclinical retinal damage and visual impairment in multiple sclerosisMacular Thickness and Macular Sensitivity. Large square and circle represent mean values of control and multiple sclerosis (MS) groups, respectively. Error bars represent the 95% confidence interval. Mean macular sensitivity in decibels of control subjects and MS patients was 18.2 (95% CI, 17.8–18.7) and 16.5 (95% CI, 16.1–16.8), respectively, corresponding to a mean difference of 1.7 dB (95% CI, 1.1–2.4; P < 0.001). Scatterplot demonstrates no relationship between average macular thickness and macular sensitivity in control subjects (r = 0.15) but significant positive correlation in MS patients (r = 0.49, P = 0.01)Back to article page
