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

purposeThe purpose of the study is to assess the displacement of lamina cribrosa (LC) and prelaminar tissue area (PTA) changes following trabeculectomy and non-penetrating deep sclerectomy (NPDS) using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) with enhanced depth imaging technology.

methodsA total of 30 patients underwent glaucoma surgery. Sixteen patients underwent trabeculectomy, and 14 patients undertook NPDS. Serial horizontal B-scan images of optic nerve head (ONH) were obtained using SD-OCT preoperatively, and at 2-week, 1-, 3-, and 6-month postoperative visit (6 pv). LC displacement magnitude and PTA changes were determined from selected B-scan images. Correspondingly, OCT retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) parameters were measured.

resultsIntraocular pressure (IOP) decreased from 27.4 ± 10.3 mmHg (mean ± standard deviation) to 10.2 ± 4.0 mmHg (P = 0.011) and from 19.9 ± 4.0 mmHg to 11.9 ± 3.6 mmHg (P = 0.012) at 6 pv, for trabeculectomy and NPDS, respectively. There was a significant decrease in the LC depth from a baseline glaucomatous LC displacement of 468.0 ± 142.4 to 397.6 ± 125.2 μm in the trabeculectomy group (P = 0.001) and from 465.2 ± 129.6 to 412.0 ± 122.4 μm in the NPDS group (P = 0.029) at 6 pv. The PTA differed between the procedures at baseline (P = 0.002), but was not statistically significant postoperatively. Multivariate analysis for all patients including age, magnitude of IOP reduction, baseline glaucomatous LC displacement, magnitude of LC displacement, and the type of surgery revealed that only the magnitude of LC displacement was associated with significant RNFL thinning on average (r

conclusionsDecrease in the LC depth after NPDS surgery can be observed at 6 pv. Regardless of the performed procedure, magnitude of LC displacement is associated with significant, focal RNFL thinning.
