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 measure retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFLT) and ganglion cell complex thickness (GCCT) in eyes with no light perception due to nonglaucomatous optic neuropathy using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography.

methodsFourteen eyes of 14 patients (9 women, 5 men; mean age 56.0 ± 16.6 (standard deviation) years] with no light perception due to optic neuropathy were recruited to this retrospective study. Only clinically stable eyes were included. Eyes were imaged at least 6 months after the onset of the disease. Five patients lost light perception due to traumatic optic neuropathy, four patients had ischemic optic neuropathy, two patients had optic neuritis, two patients had compressive optic neuropathy, and one patient had optic nerve atrophy. Global and quadrant RNFLTs were measured with the Cirrus HD-optical coherence tomography (OCT) system; global and hemisphere GCCTs were measured by spectral-domain OCT (RTVue OCT system). Only reliable OCT images were used for further analysis.

resultsReliable RNFL images were obtained in 12 eyes, and reliable GCC images were obtained in 11 eyes. Global, superior, temporal, inferior, and nasal RNFLT were 57.5 ± 6.7, 60.6 ± 7.6, 54.1 ± 11.2, 59.7 ± 9.5, and 55.6 ± 7.4 µm, respectively. Global, superior, and inferior GCC thicknesses were 68.8 ± 9.6, 70.7 ± 12.2, and 67.8 ± 8.8 µm, respectively.

conclusionsA considerable proportion of RNFL and GCC remained in eyes with no light perception vision. Clinicians should take this into account when evaluating the severity of optic neuropathy from OCT-measured RNFLT and GCCT.
