Perimetric and retrobulbar blood flow changes following carotid endarterectomy.
Article in Graefe's archive for clinical and experimental ophthalmology = Albrecht von Graefes Archiv fur klinische und experimentelle Ophthalmologie, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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.
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
backgroundCarotid stenosis can produce visual changes. This study examines perimetric and retrobulbar blood flow changes following carotid endarterectomy (CEA) in patients without visual symptoms.
methodsSixteen patients (13 male, three female) with bilateral carotid stenosis were included. Patients with a history of ophthalmic disease, including glaucoma, were excluded. Peak systolic velocity (PSV) in the ophthalmic artery (OA), central retinal artery (CRA), and short posterior ciliary arteries (SPCAs) was measured preoperatively and 12 months following CEA with color Doppler imaging (CDI), using a 7.5 MHz probe, at both the side operated upon and its fellow side. Automated static perimetry (Octopus 500 perimeter, G1x program) was performed at the same intervals. Mean sensitivity (MS), mean defect (MD), loss variance (LV) and corrected loss variance (CLV) were recorded.
resultsPreoperative PSV in the OA was significantly lower in the side operated on. Preoperative perimetric parameters were significantly compromised, compared with normative data, in both eyes. Postoperatively, PSV had significantly improved in all vessels examined in the carotid that was operated on, but only in the OA and SPCAs in the fellow side. MD had significantly improved postoperatively for both eyes, whereas improvement in the other perimetric parameters examined was not statistically significant.
conclusionsPerimetric changes occur in carotid stenosis. CEA results in the improvement of retrobulbar blood flow and perimetric parameters. Further research will be required to determine whether perimetric parameters may be used as additional indicators for carotid endarterectomy.
