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 the relationship between corneal deflection amplitude and visual field progression rate in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).

methodsThis study included 113 eyes of 65 patients with POAG followed for an average of 4.81 ± 1.24 years. Evaluation of visual field progression rate was performed using mean deviation of standard automated perimetry. Corneal deflection amplitude was measured using Corvis ST (Oculus Optikgeräte GmbH, Wetzlar, Germany). Linear mixed models were performed to determine the relationship between corneal deflection amplitude, intraocular pressure (IOP), and visual field progression rate.

resultsMean age was 56.36 ± 14.58 years. Baseline average mean deviation was -8.20 ± 9.12 dB and mean treated IOP was 14.38 ± 3.08 mmHg. Average deflection amplitude was 0.90 ± 0.13 mm. In both univariate and multivariate analysis, IOP (P = 0.028 and P < 0.001, respectively) and deflection amplitude (P = 0.034 and P < 0.001, respectively) significantly affected visual field progression rate. Eyes with high IOP and greater deflection amplitude showed faster progression rate.

conclusionsCorneal deflection amplitude was significantly related with glaucoma progression. Eyes with greater corneal deflection amplitude showed faster visual field progression rate in patients with POAG.
