OCT Circle Scans Can Be Used to Study Many Eyes with Advanced Glaucoma.

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
Purpose: To examine the utility of optical coherence tomography (OCT) for studying eyes with advanced glaucoma [i.e., eyes with a 24-2 visual field (VF) mean deviation (MD) worse than -15 dB], we tested the hypothesis that if these eyes had a 10-2 total deviation (TD) map with points better than -8 dB, then the topographically corresponding regions on the circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (cpRNFL) should show a preserved region. Design: Evaluation of technology study. Participants: 39 eyes from 33 patients (mean: 68.8 ± 9.2 years) with a diagnosis of glaucoma had a 24-2 VF with a MD ≤ -15 dB (mean: -18.94 ± 2.95 dB). All eyes additionally had a 10-2 VF and an averaged OCT circle scan. Methods: Each scan was inspected, and preserved cpRNFL regions of the disc associated with the macula (central ±8° were delin eated. Main Outcome Measures: The number of eyes with preserved cpRNFL regions and their association with preserved VF locations (i.e. better than -8 dB) shown in the 10-2 VF TD map. Results: 38 of the 39 eyes had one or more points on the 10-2 VF with TD values that were better than -8 dB (mean: 25.7 ± 12.6 points). For all 39 eyes, there was a preserved portion of the cpRNFL on the circle scan within the disc region associated with the macula. However, for 3 of these eyes, this region was hypodense and could be a challenge for the clinician to identify. Conclusion: OCT scans can be used to assess and potentially follow the preserved regions of cpRNFL associated with the macula in eyes with advanced glaucoma if there is a preserved region on the 10-2 VF better than -8 dB.
