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

purposeElevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is a well-known risk factor in glaucoma development and progression. As most glaucoma risk factors are not modifiable, IOP remains the sole focus of medical and surgical therapy. Identifying modifiable factors and their effects on IOP, such as systemic diseases, is therefore of interest. The objective is to assess the long-term, longitudinal relationship between systemic diseases and IOP mean, peak, and variability, including diabetes, hypertension, body mass index (BMI), and smoking status.

designSecondary analysis of randomized clinical trial data.

methodsLongitudinal IOP and systemic disease data from the Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS), a randomized clinical trial of high-dose antioxidants, was analyzed. STUDY POPULATION: A total of 3909 older participants without a reported diagnosis of glaucoma or glaucoma treatment during AREDS with up to 12 years of annual IOP and systemic disease data.

main outcome measuresIndependent systemic disease risk factors associated with IOP.

resultsUnivariate analysis identified numerous systemic disease factors associated with IOP mean, peak, and variability. Longitudinal adjusted models identified diabetes, obesity, and systolic hypertension as significantly associated with increased IOP, while systemic beta-blocker use was inversely associated.

conclusionsResults demonstrate a relationship between multiple systemic diseases and IOP; moreover, they demonstrate that systemic diseases influence additional parameters beyond mean IOP, such as IOP peak and variability. Although only to be taken within the context of IOP, these population-level trends reveal potentially modifiable factors in IOP control, and are particularly important in the context of increasing obesity and diabetes prevalence rates in American adults.
