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 determine the association between plasma 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) levels, a marker for oxidative DNA damage, and patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) or its clinical phenotypes. Furthermore, we also examined the utility of plasma 8-OHdG as a potential biomarker in POAG. MATERIALS AND

methodsIn a retrospective case-control study, plasma samples were obtained from 50 POAG cases and 45 glaucoma-free controls matched for age, sex, and ethnicity. 8-OHdG levels were measured in duplicate using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) on an automated ELISA analyzer.

resultsThere was no significant difference in age, sex, and systemic disease distribution between POAG cases and controls. Both mean and median 8-OHdG levels were significantly elevated in POAG cases and male subjects. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve value for plasma 8-OHdG was 0.653 (95% confidence interval = 0.54-0.76,

conclusionThe study shows that there is a significant association between elevated plasma 8-OHdG and POAG, supporting the role of systemic oxidative stress-induced DNA damage in POAG pathogenesis. However, with a high rate of false-positivity, plasma 8-OHdG may lack the ability to serve as a potential biomarker in POAG. Further studies in a much larger cohort are needed to confirm these findings.
