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

Acute primary angle closure glaucoma (APACG) is an ophthalmic emergency that may lead to irreversible blindness. Although efforts were made to control intraocular pressure, disease progression still existed. Anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS OCT) may provide a new insight into mechanism of APACG. In order to seek out associated factors by AS OCT, We compared anterior segment parameters between 74 APACG and 48 normal eyes. Analysis of variance, principle component analysis and logistic regression were used. APACG group had more women (75.7% vs 47.9%, p = 0.002), smaller anterior chamber (anterior chamber depth, ACD; anterior chamber area, ACA; all p = 0.001), narrower angle (AOD500, AOD750, angle opening distance at 500um and 750um; TISA500, TISA750, trabecular-iris space area at 500um and 750um; ARA500, ARA750, angle recess area at 500um and 750um; all p < 0.001), thinner iris (iris thickness at 750um, IT750; maximum of iris thickness, ITMAX; all p < 0.001), larger iris area (IA, p < 0.001) and lens vault (LV, p = 0.005). Principle component extracted were AOD500, AOD750, TISA500, TISA750, ARA500, ARA750, IA, PD (pupillary diameter), ACD, ACA and IT750. After adjusting for confounding factors, AOD750 (b = 12.40 ± 2.56, p < 0.001), IT750 (b = 10.50 ± 3.45, p = 0.002) and IA (b = -1.56 ± 0.77, p = 0.044) were significantly associated with occurrence of APACG.
