Significant correlations between photopic negative response, afferent pupillary defect, and mean defects of visual fields in asymmetric optic nerve disorders.
Article in Graefe's archive for clinical and experimental ophthalmology = Albrecht von Graefes Archiv fur klinische und experimentelle Ophthalmologie, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 4 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
purposeThe photopic negative response (PhNR) is a negative wave following the b-wave of the photopic electroretinogram (ERG). The PhNR originates from the retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), and it can be used to assess the function of RGCs noninvasively and objectively. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the relative amplitudes (affected/normal eye) of the PhNR are significantly correlated with the degree of the relative afferent pupillary defect (RAPD) in eyes with unilateral or asymmetrical damage of the optic nerve.
methodsThe PhNRs of the full-field photopic ERGs were measured. In addition, videopupillography and automated perimetry were performed on 27 cases with asymmetrical optic nerve disorders including glaucoma. The differences of these assessments were expressed by the relative amplitudes of the PhNRs of the two eyes, the neutral density (ND) filter required to equate the amplitudes of the pupillary light reflexes between the two eyes, and differences of the mean defects (ΔMDs) of the sensitivities of the Humphrey visual fields. The correlations between these values were determined by linear regression analyses.
resultsThe relative PhNR amplitudes were significantly and negatively correlated with the ΔMDs (R
conclusionThe relative amplitudes of the PhNR of the affected eyes to the contralateral eyes indicate an asymmetric alteration of the RGCs, and they can be used to monitor the physiology of the RGCs objectively.
