Assessment of peripapillary choroidal thickness in primary open-angle glaucoma patients with choroidal vascular prominence.
Article in Japanese journal of ophthalmology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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 investigate the relationship between peripapillary choroidal thickness (PCT) and choroidal vascular prominence (CVP) colocalized with retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) defect in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) eyes and to evaluate the relationship between PCT and POAG severity.
methodsIn this cross-sectional comparative study, 29 POAG patients with CVP on RNFL imaging (Group A), 70 POAG patients without CVP (Group B) and 63 healthy controls (Group C) were examined. Various factors including age, intraocular pressure (IOP), spherical equivalent (SE), axial length (AXL), central corneal thickness (CCT), peripapillary RNFL thickness, visual-field mean deviation (MD) and pattern standard deviation (PSD) were investigated. Also, PCT (average, clock-hour) was measured by swept-source optical coherence tomography. The differences in each of the factors were analyzed among the groups.
resultsThere was no significant difference in age, IOP, SE, AXL or CCT among the three groups (P > 0.05). MD, PSD and RNFL thickness (RNFLT) in Groups A and B were lower than in Group C, but there was no difference between Groups A and B. There was a significant difference in adjusted PCT between Groups A and B (79.39 ± 6.56 vs. 115.87 ± 4.25, P < 0.001). Every adjusted clock-hour PCT in Group A was significantly thinner than in Group B.
conclusionsCVP in red-free RNFL images indicated severe thinning of PCT. Although PCT thinning was not related to glaucoma severity, CVP in red-free RNFL images should be observed as an indicator of PCT thinning, associated with POAG.
