Four Questions for Every Clinician Diagnosing and Monitoring Glaucoma.
Article in Journal of glaucoma, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 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
We pose 4 questions for the clinician diagnosing and monitoring glaucoma, and supply evidence-based answers. The first question is: "When do you perform a 10-2 (2-degree grid) visual field (VF) test?" We argue the best answer is: anyone you would do, or have done, a 24-2 (6-degree grid) VF on should have both a 24-2 and a 10-2 VF within the first 2 visits. Second, "When do you perform an optical coherence tomography (OCT) scan of the macula?" We argue that, if you are performing an OCT test, then it should include both the macula and disc, either as a single scan or as 2 scans, one centered on the macula and the other on the disc. Third, "How do you know if the VF and OCT tests agree?" The poor answer is, "I use summary statistics such as 24-2 mean deviation and global or quadrant average of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness." It is much better to topographically compare abnormal regions on the OCT to abnormal regions on the VF. Finally, the fourth question is: "When do you look at OCT images?" We argue that, at a minimum, the clinician should be directly examining an image of the circumpapillary RNFL, and this image should be sufficiently large and with sufficient resolution so that local damage can be seen, and the segmentation evaluated.
