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

A new preservative-free fixed-dose combination of 0.0015% tafluprost, a prostaglandin F2α analog, and 0.5% timolol (TAF/TIM; Santen Oy, Tampere, Finland), a beta-adrenergic antagonist has recently been developed. The intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction with TAF/TIM in open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension is similar to that of other prostaglandin-timolol fixed-combination products. Patients with high IOP responded well to TAF/TIM with reductions of up to 40% (>13 mmHg) and beyond. Compared to previous controlled and double-masked clinical trials with DuoTrav(®) (Alcon, Fort Worth, USA) and Ganfort(®) (Allergan, Irvine, USA), TAF/TIM caused less superficial ocular side effects and less conjunctival hyperemia. Plausible explanations for the differences in side effects between the fixed-combination products are discussed.
