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

purposeThe purpose of this study was to evaluate systemic endothelial function in elderly hypertension patients with non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (NAION) by using a noninvasive physiological method: endothelium-dependent, flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD).

methodsForty-two systemic hypertension patients with NAION (NAION group), 64 age- and sex-matched patients with systemic hypertension and no other ocular disease (hypertension group), and 100 age- and sex-matched healthy volunteers (normal group) were enrolled. FMD was evaluated using a high-resolution ultrasonography. Traditional cardiovascular risk factors and vascular parameters were measured.

resultsSystolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure were significantly higher in patients with NAION compared with the control groups (p < 0.001). The FMD decreased significantly in the NAION group (6.02 ± 1.87 %) compared to in the hypertension group (7.86 ± 2.94 %, p < 0.001) and the normal group (8.99 ± 2.44 %, p < 0.001). By multivariable logistic regression analysis, FMD was significantly associated with NAION (OR, 1.79; 95%CI, 1.67-2.01).

conclusionsNAION may be associated with systemic vascular endothelial dysfunction. FMD might be useful in the treatment monitoring of NAION.
