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

backgroundRecently, applications of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) have been limited to the retina and posterior segment. Although early studies have described its use for other clinical applications, its role in anterior segment vasculature and optic disc imaging has been limited thus far. CASE PRESENTATION: We describe a novel clinical application of OCTA in a patient with dural carotid-cavernous sinus fistula (CCF), which was complicated by increased intra-ocular pressure (IOP). In this case report, we used the OCTA to delineate increased epsicleral venous flow in the affected eye with secondary raised IOP. Current measurements of episcleral venous pressure are either invasive or provide highly variable results, thus the OCTA may have the potential to provide a more reliable approach to assess episcleral vasculature. We also describe the use of OCTA to detect early glaucomatous nerve damage, associated with focal reductions in peripapillary retinal perfusion.

conclusionsWe present an early report of using OCTA of the anterior segment to allow rapid, non-invasive delineation of abnormal episcleral venous plexus secondary to dural CCF. The OCTA was also useful for detecting early reduction in peripapillary retinal perfusion, which suggests early glaucomatous optic neuropathy. This suggests that OCTA may have a role for determining risk of glaucoma in patients with CCF in future.
