Anterior segment Scheimpflug imaging for detecting primary angle closure disease.
Article in Graefe's archive for clinical and experimental ophthalmology = Albrecht von Graefes Archiv fur klinische und experimentelle Ophthalmologie, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 the capability of anterior segment Scheimpflug imaging for detecting primary angle closure disease (PACD): primary angle closure suspect, primary angle closure, and primary angle closure glaucoma, using cutoff points derived from reference databases of healthy subjects.
methodsEighty-seven patients with PACD and 49 age-matched control subjects were included. We evaluated the sensitivity and specificity of anterior chamber depth (ACD), anterior chamber volume (ACV), and anterior chamber angle (ACA) to differentiate patients with PACD from controls. Additionally, the study's raw data was analyzed via receiver operating characteristic curves for comparison.
resultsOne standard deviation from the normative data's mean values was used as the cutoff point and yielded a sensitivity and specificity of 96.2% and 92.6% for ACD, 97.1% and 75.9% for ACV, and 93.3% and 72.2% for ACA, respectively. Receiver operating characteristic analysis of the raw data showed the area under the curve to be 0.984, 0.975, and 0.931 for ACD, ACV, and ACA, respectively.
conclusionsOur study demonstrated that the parameters of anterior segment Scheimpflug imaging, particularly ACD, accurately discriminate PACD. This was the first study to validate the device's normative data in a separate population. With its high reproducibility, ease of use, non-invasiveness, and speed, anterior segment Scheimpflug imaging is a potentially powerful screening tool for PACD.
