Vessel density in OCT angiography permits differentiation between normal and glaucomatous optic nerve heads.
Article in International journal of ophthalmology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers.
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
aimTo evaluate whether optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) can detect altered vessel density (VD) at the optic nerve head (ONH) in glaucoma patients. Special attention is paid to the accuracy of the OCTA technique for distinguishing healthy from glaucomatous eyes.
methodsA total of 171 eyes were examined by the OCTA system AngioVue™ (Optovue): 97 eyes diagnosed with glaucoma and 74 healthy control eyes. The papillary and peripapillary VD was measured. Furthermore, the VD was correlated with different structural and functional measurements. In order to test the accuracy of differentiation between eyes with and without glaucoma, we calculated the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) and the area under the curve (AUC).
resultsThe papillary and peripapillary VD in glaucomatous eyes was significantly lower than in healthy eyes (
conclusionOCTA allows non-invasive quantification of the peripapillary and papillary VD, which is significantly reduced in glaucomatous eyes and accurately distinguishes between healthy and diseased eyes. OCTA expands the spectrum of procedures for detecting and monitoring glaucoma.
