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

aimTo prospectively assess the cumulative prevalence and management of open angle glaucoma (OAG), including primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) with high and normal-pressure, as well as pseudoexfoliative glaucoma (PEXG), in patients with central/hemicentral retinal vein occlusions (RVOs) over a 3-year follow-up period.

methodsThe study encompassed 57 patients with unilateral acute central/hemicentral RVOs. A complete ophthalmic examination of both eyes was undertaken for all patients. Patients with OAGs associated with central/hemicentral RVOs were treated with the current ocular hypotensive medications used worldwide and/or surgery and aimed to reduce the intraocular pressure (IOP) by 30% from baseline values for the 3 OAG forms existing in our series. The cumulative prevalence of OAG and the efficacy of treatment were evaluated.

resultsOAG was observed in 3 clinical forms, namely, POAG with increased IOP in 4 patients, POAG with normal IOP in 3 patients, and PEXG in 3 patients. The cumulative prevalence of OAG was 19.6% (95%CI: 8.7-30.5). Using available ocular hypotensive medications (8 patients) and trabeculectomy (2 patients), the IOP decreased significantly from 24.3±4.36 mm Hg to 16.55±2.85 mm Hg, a reduction of 31.89% compared with baseline values. Glaucoma progression was not detected in any of the cases.

conclusionThe high value of the cumulative prevalence of OAG is a risk factor for the development of venous occlusion. The treatment of glaucoma prevented its progression over a follow-up period of 3y.
