Factors Related to a Right-Left Difference in Visual Field Defect in the Eyes with Untreated Normal Tension Glaucoma.

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 factors related to a right-left difference in visual field defect in untreated normal tension glaucoma (NTG).
methodsThe medical records of 92 patients with untreated NTG were reviewed. Ocular blood flow was evaluated with laser speckle flowgraphy, and the mean blur rate (MBR) at the optic nerve head was analyzed. Relationships between right-left differences in mean deviation (MD), intraocular pressure, MBR, spherical equivalent, central corneal thickness, and mean ocular perfusion pressure were evaluated using Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. Multiple regression analysis was used to detect factors contributing to a right-left difference in MD.
resultsThe right-left difference in MD was correlated with differences in intraocular pressure (
conclusionIn untreated NTG, a difference in blood flow at the optic nerve head was a significant contributor to a right-left difference in visual field defect.
