Ocular hypertension in patients with central/hemicentral retinal vein occlusions: cumulative prevalence and management.
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 4 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 prospectively evaluate the cumulative prevalence and the management of ocular hypertension (OH) in patients with unilateral acute central/hemicentral retinal vein occlusions (C/HCRVOs) over the course of 3y.
methodsThe study included 57 patients with unilateral acute C/HCRVOs. All patients underwent a comprehensive ophthalmological examination of both eyes. OH associated with C/HCRVO in patients showing a score >5% for the risk of conversion to primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) was treated with OH medication. The treatment aimed for a decrease in intraocular pressure (IOP) to <21 mm Hg with a >22% reduction from the initial values. The cumulative prevalence of OH and the effectiveness of treatment assessed by the cumulative prevalence of conversion from OH to POAG, were estimated.
resultsFifteen patients had OH associated with C/HCRVOs, the cumulative prevalence of OH was 29.4% (95% confidence interval, 16.9-41.9). The mean value of the risk score of OH conversion to POAG for the 5 subsequent years was 11.7%±5.4%. The IOP significantly decreased from 25.67±2.16 mm Hg to 18.73±2.96 mm Hg. None of the OH patients converted to POAG during the follow-up period.
conclusionThe increased cumulative prevalence of OH in C/HCRVO patients indicates that OH is a risk factor for the appearance of venous occlusion. Patients with OH associated with C/HCRVO must be considered to be at high risk for conversion to POAG. Treatment with OH medications prevented conversion to POAG during the 3-year follow-up.
