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

purposeTo compare the drug efficacy of four prostaglandin analogues (PGAs) by bilateral treatment in normal subjects.

methodsThree consecutive studies comparing latanoprost to three other PGAs (travoprost, tafluprost and bimatoprost) were performed in 24 healthy subjects. Each study was separated by a washout period of over 6 weeks. In each study, two drugs were randomly assigned to one eye of each subject. Study subjects instilled the assigned medication at 9:00 p.m. every day for 2 weeks. The same masked investigator measured intraocular pressure (IOP) at 9:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. at baseline and repeated measurements on days 7 and 14. The differences in IOP reduction were compared between the drugs.

resultsMean diurnal IOP reduction with latanoprost on days 7 and 14 was similar to that with travoprost and tafluprost, but was significantly lower than that with bimatoprost. The association of the mean diurnal IOP reduction between latanoprost and bimatoprost on day 14 (r (2) = 0.25) was weak, in remarkable contrast to the strong association between latanoprost and travoprost (r (2) = 0.81) and between latanoprost and tafluprost (0.82).

conclusionsThe short-term bilateral treatment revealed a different IOP-lowering efficacy of bimatoprost compared to other PGAs in healthy subjects.
