Systematic Review of Retinal Imaging Features in Stroke Patients

A systematic review by A. Sarian analyzes ophthalmic imaging studies to identify features associated with stroke. The work synthesizes findings from literature across PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases. It was published in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze associations between retinal nerve fiber layer thickness and stroke status using tabulated review data.
• Investigate correlations between retinal vascular density metrics and cerebrovascular health parameters.
• Study morphological changes in the foveal avascular zone documented across included imaging studies.
• Compare retinal arteriolar and venular width measurements between stroke patients and control groups.

Strengths

• Structured synthesis of evidence from multiple major databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science).
• Identifies specific, measurable ophthalmic features like retinal layer thickness and vascular density.
• Dataset is openly available under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Dataset is very small at 291.7 KB, indicating a limited scope of extracted or summary data.
• Contains no primary patient data; it is a review of existing literature findings.
• The specific number of reviewed studies or data rows is not provided.
