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 analyze the effects of different methods of measurement on the photopic negative response (PhNR), recorded as part of a standard ISCEV Photopic 3.0 ERG responses from patients with a variety of clinical diagnoses.

methodsERGs were recorded from both eyes of 97 patients (187 eyes) as part of a standard clinical assessment. The average age was 56.4 ± 15.7 years, the gender balance was 35 M, 62F, and only recordable responses of acceptable quality were included. PhNR was measured at an identifiable trough before (PhNR1) and after the i-wave (PhNR2), and the amplitudes and peak times were compared with a-, b- and i-wave corresponding parameters. PhNR components were measured: from baseline and from b-wave peak. Correlation between PhNR troughs and with ERG parameters were tested for right eyes. The possibility to predict and substitute PhNR2 amplitude from PhNR1 amplitude was also tested.

resultsPhNR1 was recordable in 97.3% of eyes and PhNR2 in 85.6%. An identifiable PhNR2 peak was found to occur before 65 ms at ~ 50% of the records, while in ~ 38% of the cases was within 65-75 ms in ~ 12%-after 75 ms. The correlation between the PhNR1 and PhNR2 peaks was quite strong (with coefficients 0.81-0.98, depending on method of measurement, and slopes close to 1). The average difference between predicted and measured PhNR2 was reasonably small in absolute (< 2 µV) and relative (< 2%) terms. The correlations between PhNR amplitudes and other ERG component amplitudes showed different ranges of correlation coefficients depending on the method of measurement: for the a-wave amplitudes the range of coefficients was 0.48-0.73, while for the b-wave amplitudes it was 0.30-0.95 and 0.39-0.65 for i-wave.

conclusionThe strong correlation between the two PhNR troughs could allow using PhNR1 when PhNR2 is poorly defined due to artifacts. Different methods of PhNR measurement lead to different correlations with other ERG parameters, and this needs to be considered when analyzing and comparing PhNR data between studies.
