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 aim of this study is to determine and compare the changes in the retinal vasculature in eyes with high-tension glaucoma (HTG) or normal-tension glaucoma (NTG).

methodsThe right eyes of 43 HTG subjects, 33 NTG subjects, and 51 age- and sex-matched normal subjects were included in this cross-sectional study. Signals were projected from the internal limiting membrane to retinal pigment epithelium. The retinal perfused vessel densities in the peripapillary and parafoveal regions were measured automatically with optic coherence tomography angiography and the split-spectrum amplitude-decorrelation angiography algorithm.

resultsCompared with normal eyes, glaucomatous eyes had a smaller retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thickness, smaller full parafoveal retinal thickness, and lower retinal perfused vessel density (PVD) in the peripapillary and parafoveal regions (all P < 0.01). The visual field, RNFL and retinal thicknesses, and PVD in the parafoveal region in the HTG eyes were similar to those in the NTG eyes. However, the NTG eyes had a significantly lower mean PVD than the HTG eyes in the peripapillary region. When the different sectors of the peripapillary region were studied, the difference was still significant in most sectors (all P < 0.05), except the inferotemporal sector (P = 0.676).

conclusionsThe retinal perfused vessel density is significantly reduced in HTG and NTG eyes, and more prominently in the peripapillary region in NTG eyes.
