Determinants of severity at presentation among young patients with early onset glaucoma.
Article in Indian journal of ophthalmology, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
aimThe aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical, socio-economic, and demographic factors associated with the severity at presentation among juvenile primary open angle glaucoma (JOAG) patients. MATERIALS AND
methodsAge at diagnosis, family history, baseline intraocular pressure (IOP), access to health-care, socio-economic status, and glaucoma awareness among 80 unrelated JOAG patients presenting between 10 years and 40 years of age were analyzed for their association with the severity at presentation. Severity at presentation was graded based on worse eye visual field using the advanced glaucoma intervention study score and on binocular visual field defects at presentation.
resultsPatients with a positive family history presented 4 years earlier (P = 0.045, confidence interval [CI]: 0.09-8.8) compared to those without a family history. Lower socio-economic status (Odds ratio [OR] 5.7, P = 0.01, CI: 1.5-22), and higher baseline IOP (OR 7, P = 0.003, CI: 1.9-26) were associated with severe glaucomatous visual field defect at presentation. A negative family history was associated with a 10 times likelihood of presenting with a severe glaucomatous field defect (OR 0.1, P = 0.007, CI: 0-0.5).
conclusionsClinical, socio-economic, and demographic factors are contributory to the severity at presentation among young patients with early onset glaucoma. Presence of a family history is associated with an earlier presentation among these patients and a reduced risk of the severe presentation.
