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

backgroundOptical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a novel noninvasive method which enables a quantitative evaluation of retinal and optic nerve head (ONH) perfusion. In this article, we discuss the principles of the application of OCTA and give a summary of the knowledge gained by using this method in glaucoma patients.

methodsThis article is based on a selective literature search and the analysis of own data.

resultsQuantitative OCTA parameters have a good reproducibility in glaucoma patients. Glaucoma patients show a reduced flow density (FD) in the ONH and in the area of the macula compared with a healthy control group. The FD parameters show a good diagnostic discriminatory power but are not superior to the structural parameters used in routine diagnostics. The reduced FD measured using OCTA correlates with the extent of functional and structural glaucoma damage.

conclusionThe OCTA is noninvasive, fast and reproducible. Initial results from studies on glaucoma patients show the high diagnostic potential of this method. The OCTA could become a part of clinical glaucoma management in the future.
