Choroidal vascular index in patients with open angle glaucoma and preperimetric glaucoma.
Article in PloS one, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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 choroidal structural changes in glaucoma using choroidal vascularity index (CVI) compared to healthy subjects.
methodsThis retrospective study included 56 patients with open angle glaucoma (OAG), 50 patients with preperimetric glaucoma (PPG) and 50 age-matched healthy eyes. Choroidal images were binarized into luminal area (LA) and stromal area. CVI was defined as the ratio of LA to total circumscribed choroid area (TCA). Mean choroidal thickness (CT) and mean CVI between glaucoma patients and healthy subjects were compared.
resultsOAG and PPG eyes showed smaller LA (0.45 ± 0.13 ㎟ vs. 0.47 ± 0.11 ㎟, p = 0.04). In multivariate regression analysis, CVI of both OAG (64.34±0.19%, p = 0.001) and PPG (65.37±0.15%, p = 0.001) were significantly lower than healthy eyes (68.81±0.14%).
conclusionEyes with glaucoma demonstrated reduced CVI compared with healthy eyes. CVI may be a potential noninvasive tool for studying vascular dysfunction in glaucoma.
