Partial residual plots showing the relationship between axial length and the average thickness of each retinal layer in total analytical area controlling for the effects of other five explanatory variables.

<p>Component plus residual was plotted against axial length for each retinal layer. A, F: retinal nerve fiber layer, B, G: ganglion cell layer plus inner plexiform layer, C, H: ganglion cell complex, D, I: total retina, E, J: outer retina. A—E: magnification uncorrected analytical area, F—J: magnification corrected analytical area. The other five explanatory variables = age, gender, eye laterality, corneal curvature, and signal strength index.
