Ocular Biometric Determinants of Anterior Chamber Angle Width in Chinese Americans: The Chinese American Eye Study.
Article in American journal of ophthalmology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
purposeWe sought to investigate anatomic mechanisms of angle narrowing by assessing ocular biometric determinants of anterior chamber angle width.
designPopulation-based cross-sectional study.
methodsSubjects ≥50 years of age from the Chinese American Eye Study underwent a comprehensive ocular examination, including anterior segment optical coherence tomography imaging and ultrasound A-scan. Independent variables, including anterior chamber depth (ACD), lens vault (LV), iris curvature (IC), anterior chamber width, lens thickness, vitreous cavity depth, and axial length, and dependent variables, including angle opening distance, were measured in 1 randomly selected eye per subject. Univariable and multivariable regression models with standardized regression coefficients (SRCs) and semipartial correlation coefficients squares (SPCC
resultsTwo thousand two hundred twenty-five subjects (1433 women and 834 men) were included in the analysis. All biometric parameters except lens thickness differed between men and women (age-adjusted P < .001). In model 1A (R
conclusionsACD, LV, and IC are the strongest determinants of angle width in Chinese Americans. Sex-related differences in angle width are explained by differences among biometric measurements. These results provide insights into anatomic mechanisms of angle narrowing and have important implications for quantitative assessments of angle closure eyes.
