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 compare longitudinal changes in circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (cpRNFL) and ganglion cell complex (GCC) thicknesses and factors that are related to changes in cpRNFL and GCC thicknesses after acute primary angle closure (APAC). STUDY

designA prospective consecutive case series.

methodsThis study was a prospective, consecutive case series study including 64 eyes of 64 subjects with APAC. cpRNFL and GCC thicknesses were measured by RTVue-100 OCT. To measure cpRNFL and GCC thicknesses, the "three-dimensional (3D) optic disc scan and ONH scan" and "GCC" scan mode were used. Differences in cpRNFL and GCC thicknesses between the affected eye and fellow eye were compared, and logistic regression analysis was performed to investigate the factors associated with longitudinal changes in cpRNFL and GCC thicknesses.

resultsThe average, superior and inferior cpRNFL, and GCC thicknesses were thicker in the affected eye than in the fellow eye within 1 week after remission and gradually decreased up to 12 months after remission. Compared with the cpRNFL and GCC thicknesses at 1 week after remission, the cpRNFL and GCC thicknesses at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after remission were significantly thinner. Logistic regression analysis revealed that a longer duration from the onset of symptoms to adjustment of treatment (cpRNFL: odds ratio = 0.865, p = 0.003) (GCC: odds ratio = 0.824, p = 0.001) was associated with abnormal cpRNFL and GCC thicknesses.

conclusionA week after APAC both cpRNFL and GCC thicknesses were thicker in the affected eye than in the fellow eye and further decreased up to 12 months post APAC. A longer duration from the onset of symptoms to adjustment of treatment was associated with cpRNFL and GCC loss after APAC.
