Seeking a practical definition of stable glaucoma: a Delphi consensus survey of UK glaucoma consultants.
Guideline in Eye (London, England), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundTo generate a practical and clinically useful consensus definition of 'stable glaucoma' to aid provision of glaucoma services in the UK and to provide guidance for the criteria that should be used for monitoring of glaucoma patients in primary care services.
methodsA Delphi exercise was undertaken to derive consensus through an online questionnaire. Participants were asked to score their strength of agreement for a series of clinical parameters. Results and comments from each round were used to inform subsequent rounds. A total of 3 rounds were undertaken.
resultsThirty-two glaucoma experts participated in the study with over 90% completion rate achieved over three rounds. The consensus was reached for the following parameters: IOP levels to be used for defining stability, visual field-testing techniques to define stability, the number of medication changes acceptable to define stability and the number of treatment medications allowed to define stability. No consensus was reached on the period of time over which stability was defined, however, there was considerable agreement that longer durations of follow up (36-48 months) were required. A combination of optic disc photos and ocular coherence topography (OCT) retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) assessment/ OCT disc structural evaluation are the preferred imaging methods for the assessment of structural stability. Oversight by a glaucoma consultant was considered important for glaucoma monitoring schemes.
conclusionThe consensus definition of glaucoma stability generated through this Delphi exercise provides guidance for allocation of patients suitable for monitoring in primary care glaucoma monitoring schemes.
