Effect of topical application of adrenaline on Schlemm canal, trabecular meshwork and intraocular pressure.
Article in Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
aimTo measure changes in the sizes of Schlemm canal (SC) and trabecular meshwork (TM) in healthy individuals before and after topical application of 1% adrenaline at 15, 45, and 90 minutes using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (ASOCT).
methodsAnterior chamber angle imaging of the nasal and temporal regions of the right eyes was performed with anterior segment optical coherence tomography (ASOCT) before and after topical application of 1% adrenaline at 15, 45, and 90 minutes. The diameter and area of SC, width and thickness of TM, anterior chamber depth (ACD) and pupil diameter (PD) were measured with ASOCT images. Intraocular pressure (IOP) was also recorded simultaneously.
resultsA total of 15 healthy individuals were enrolled and included 7 male subjects and 8 female subjects; Compared with the parameters before intervention, both the SC diameter and area in the 2 quadrants increased after the application of adrenaline at the 3 time points (P < .05). The TM width increased after medication (P < .05). IOP decreased significantly after application (P < .05). There were no statistically significant changes in TM thickness, ACD, and PD at any point of time (P > .05).
conclusionTopical application of 1% adrenaline in eye led to decrease in IOP with the SC diameter and area as well as the TM width increased after medication. While the TM thickness, ACD, PD seemed to remain constant.
