[Evaluation of the self-tonometer Icare ONE in comparison to Goldmann applanation tonometry].
Article in Der Ophthalmologe : Zeitschrift der Deutschen Ophthalmologischen Gesellschaft, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectiveThe aim of this clinical study was to demonstrate the practicability of self-measured intraocular pressure and to evaluate the reliability by comparing the data with those obtained by Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT).
methodsA total of 40 patients aged between 44 and 82 years with glaucoma were introduced to the handling of the tonometer. The self-measurements were done for 1-3 days following the medical measurement by GAT. The data were saved as "correct" or in the case of wrong handling as "false". The impressions of the patients were obtained by a questionnaire.
resultsA total number of 191 single measurements were registered by the Icare ONE and of these there were 97 (50.8%) signed "false". Of the patients 45% reached a maximum difference of ±5 mmHg between GAT and self-measurement in every single measurement. In the subgroup of under 60-year-old patients 70% reached this result. There were no indications of a systematic error. Of the probands 60% considered the handling of the Icare ONE as difficult. Nevertheless, 80% could imagine using the self-tonometer at home.
conclusionsThe differences between the self-measurements and the GAT were highly fluctuating in some cases. In the group of patients younger than 60 years the agreement was better, so problems with the handling of the Icare ONE may be an important factor. However, the acceptance in the patients tested was high and continuous pressure measurements at home could be reasonable. Advancements in the handling and reliability are needed to improve clinical application of the measured values.
