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

Primary open-angle glaucoma is currently characterized by a pattern of progressive retinal ganglion cell loss that stems from a complex underlying pathophysiology that remains poorly elucidated. The roles of blood flow and intraocular pressure (IOP) in glaucoma pathogenesis have been extensively studied. Further, it has been established that lowering IOP can slow the progression of glaucoma. In addition, a number of influential factors have emerged and gained momentum over the years. Increasing evidence implicates the contributions of low cerebrospinal fluid pressure, autoimmunity, neurodegeneration, and impaired autoregulation towards glaucoma pathophysiology. We aggregate and explore these different camps of thought that have garnered attention over the last few decades, and, in doing so, aim to challenge the long-standing view of glaucoma as a primary disease of the eye. A shift in our perspective towards understanding glaucoma as an ocular manifestation of systemic dysregulation may lead ultimately to better clinical management of the disease.
