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 characterize longitudinal changes in basal blood flow (BF) of the optic nerve head (ONH) during progression of structural damage in experimental glaucoma (EG).

methodsUnilateral elevation of IOP was induced in 15 adult rhesus macaques by laser treatment to the trabecular meshwork. Prior to and after laser, retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFLT) and ONH BF were measured biweekly by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography and a laser speckle flowgraphy device (LSFG), respectively.

resultsAverage postlaser IOP was 20.2 ± 5.9 mm Hg in EG eyes and 12.3 ± 2.6 mm Hg in control eyes (P < 0.0001). Longitudinal changes in basal ONH BF were strongly associated with changes in RNFLT as EG progressed from early through moderately advanced stages of damage, with Pearson correlation coefficients ranging from 0.64 to 0.97 (average = 0.81) and an average slope of 1.0. During early stage (RNFLT loss < 10%), basal ONH BF was mildly increased (9% ± 10%, P = 0.004) relative to baseline and compared with fellow controls (P = 0.02). Basal ONH BF declined continuously throughout subsequent stages in EG eyes reaching 25.0% ± 9.6% (P < 0.0001) below baseline at the final stage studied (RNFLT loss > 40%). In fellow control eyes, there was no significant change in basal ONH BF over time (P = 0.27).

conclusionsIn EG based on chronic mild-to-moderate IOP elevation, a two-phase pattern of ONH BF alteration was observed. ONH BF increased during the earliest stage (while RNFLT was within 10% of baseline) followed by a linear decline that was strongly correlated with loss of RNFLT.
