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 investigate longitudinal changes in peripheral anterior chamber depth (pACD) of eyes with angle closure after laser iridotomy (LI) and factors related to prognosis.

designRetrospective cohort study.

methodsEyes with primary angle closure (PAC), acute PAC, or chronic angle closure glaucoma (CACG) that underwent LI (LI group) and eyes that underwent phacoemulsification and intraocular lens insertion (PEA + IOL group) were employed. Longitudinal changes in pACD were evaluated with a scanning peripheral anterior chamber depth analyzer (SPAC) in addition to routine ophthalmic examination.

resultsForty-eight eyes of LI groups (69.8 ± 8.5 years) and 21 eyes of PEA + IOL group (65.6 ± 12.7 years) were enrolled. Mean follow-up times of LI group and PEA + IOL group were 43.4 ± 12.7 months and 36.5 ± 2.5 months, respectively. LI significantly increased pACD as indicated by the SPAC grade change from 3.8 ± 1.1 to 4.6 ± 1.2 (

conclusionsPeripheral ACD is temporarily deepened by LI, but returns to the pre-LI level in approximately three years. The type of angle closure and some factors may be related to glaucoma prognosis after LI.
