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 further improve analysis of the two-flash multifocal electroretinogram (2F-mfERG) in glaucoma in regard to structure-function analysis, using discrete wavelet transform (DWT) analysis.

methodsSixty subjects [35 controls and 25 primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG)] underwent 2F-mfERG. Responses were analyzed with the DWT. The DWT level that could best separate POAG from controls was compared to the root-mean-square (RMS) calculations previously used in the analysis of the 2F-mfERG. In a subgroup analysis, structure-function correlation was assessed between DWT, optical coherence tomography and automated perimetry (mf103 customized pattern) for the central 15°.

resultsFrequency level 4 of the wavelet variance analysis (144 Hz, WVA-144) was most sensitive (p < 0.003). It correlated positively with RMS but had a better AUC. Positive relations were found between visual field, WVA-144 and GCIPL thickness. The highest predictive factor for glaucoma diagnostic was seen in the GCIPL, but this improved further by adding the mean sensitivity and WVA-144.

conclusionsmfERG using WVA analysis improves glaucoma diagnosis, especially when combined with GCIPL and MS.
