Retinal vessel diameter in normal-tension glaucoma patients with asymmetric progression.

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
purposeTo investigate the longitudinal changes in the central retinal vessel diameter in asymmetric progressive normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) patients.
methodsThis study included 27 patients with bilateral NTG without any systemic vascular disease who showed glaucomatous progression in one eye at the mean follow-up of 24.3 months (range, 18-29 months). Progression was determined by the development of new retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) defects or widening of pre-existing defects on red-free RNFL photographs. The central retinal arteriolar equivalent (CRAE) and the central retinal venular equivalent (CRVE) were measured at baseline and at the mean follow-up of 24.3 months. We classified the eyes of each patient as either progressed or stable eyes, and compared the differences and changes in the CRAE and CRVE.
resultsNo significant inter-eye difference was observed at baseline in the mean CRAE (167.5 ± 22.2 μm vs. 168.2 ± 15.5 μm, p = 0.809) and in the mean CRVE (276.3 ± 18.2 μm vs. 281.6 ± 21.9 μm, p = 0.267) between the progressed and stable eyes. There were significant changes in CRAE in the progressed eyes between baseline and 2 years after baseline (from 167.5 ± 22.2 μm to 146.9 ± 18.0 μm, p < 0.0001), but there were no significant changes in the stable eyes (from 168.2 ± 15.5 μm to 167.5 ± 14.8 μm, p = 0.084).
conclusionsIn our series of NTG patients with asymmetric progression, central retinal artery diameter decreased over time in the progressed eyes, whereas no significant decrease in the central retinal artery diameter was seen in the stable eyes.
