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

purposeWe investigated the relationship between visual parameters that are commonly affected during glaucomatous disease progression with functional measures of retina physiology using electroretinography and behavioral measures of visual function in a mouse model of glaucoma. Electroretinogram components measuring retinal ganglion cell (RGC) responses were determined using the non-invasive Ganzfeld flash electroretinography (fERG) to assess RGC loss in a mouse model of glaucoma.

methodsIntraocular pressure (IOP), behaviorally assessed measures of visual function, namely visual acuity and contrast sensitivity as well as fERG responses were recorded in 4- and 11-month-old male DBA/2 mice. Scotopic threshold response (STR) and photopic negative response components as well as oscillatory potentials (OPs) were isolated from fERG responses and correlated with IOP, optomotor reflex measurements, and RGC counts.

resultsThe 11-month-old DBA/2 mice had significantly elevated IOP, reduced visual performance, as assessed behaviorally, significant RGC loss, deficits in standardized fERG responses, reduced STRs, and differences in OP amplitudes and latencies, when compared with 4-month-old mice of the same strain. STRs and OPs correlated with some visual and physiological parameters. In addition, elevated IOP and RGC loss correlated positively with measures of visual function, specifically with surrogate measures of RGC function derived from fERG.

conclusionsOur data suggest that RGC function as well as interactions of RGCs with other retinal cell types is impaired during glaucoma. In addition, a later OP wavelet denoted as OP4 in this study was identified as a very reproducible indicator of loss of visual function in the glaucoma mouse model.
