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

Visual evoked potentials (VEP) are a significant visual electrophysiological diagnostic exam, which can be used as a suitable objective measure of optic nerve function. The topic was greatly debated and many correlations between the magnitude of the VEP latency parameters and parameters of Humphrey static perimetry suggested that the abnormal cortex responses in patients with glaucomatous changes could be tested by both electrophysiological and physical methods. Moreover, the optic nerve glaucomatous damage observed by reduction in ganglion cell layer and retinal fibre layer thickness through SD-OCT tests, which are known to precede Humphrey visual field defects, correlates with VEP latency parameters, thus consolidating the position of the VEP testing in glaucoma progression.
