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

purposeTo evaluate aqueous humor outflow (AHO) in intact eyes of live human subjects during cataract surgery using fluorescein aqueous angiography.

methodsAqueous angiography was performed in 8 live human subjects (56 to 86 y old; 2 men and 6 women). After anesthesia, fluorescein (2%) was introduced into the eye [either alone or after indocyanine green (ICG; 0.4%)] from a sterile, gravity-driven constant-pressure reservoir. Aqueous angiographic images were obtained with a Spectralis HRA+OCT and FLEX module (Heidelberg Engineering). Using the same device, anterior-segment optical coherence tomography (OCT) and infrared images were also concurrently taken with aqueous angiography.

resultsFluorescein aqueous angiography in the live human eye showed segmental AHO patterns. Initial angiographic signal was seen on average by 14.0±3.0 seconds (mean±SE). Using multimodal imaging, angiographically positive signal colocalized with episcleral veins (infrared imaging) and intrascleral lumens (anterior-segment OCT). Sequential aqueous angiography with ICG followed by fluorescein showed similar segmental angiographic patterns. DISCUSSION: Fluorescein aqueous angiography in live humans was similar to that reported in nonhuman primates and to ICG aqueous angiography in live humans. As segmental patterns with sequential angiography using ICG followed by fluorescein were similar, these tracers can now be used sequentially, before and after trabecular outflow interventions, to assess their effects on AHO in live human subjects.
