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

purposeWe aimed to examine the changes in choroidal blood flow (CBF), choroidal pulse waveform, and central choroidal thickness (CCT) in a case of pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) using laser speckle flowgraphy (LSFG) and enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT) before and after treatment with antihypertensive drugs. OBSERVATIONS: A 24-year-old Japanese woman diagnosed with PIH presented with complaints of worsening and blurred vision in the right eye. Funduscopic findings at the initial visit showed serous retinal detachment (SRD), retinal hemorrhage, and arterial tortuosity. The LSFG color map showed a warm color. Macular mean blur rate (MBR), which is an index of relative blood flow velocity, in both eyes was high, along with choroidal thickening. Blowout time (BOT), which indicates the rate of time in which the MBR is greater than half the amplitude during one heartbeat, was low and acceleration time index (ATI), which represents the time-to-peak of MBR, was high. Several weeks after treatment with antihypertensive drugs, the CBF and ATI gradually decreased with regression of the SRD and thinning of the CCT. On the other hand, BOT gradually increased after treatment, showing a significant decrease in vascular resistance. Ocular perfusion pressure decreased after treatment because of the reduction in blood pressure. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE: LSFG might reveal choroidal overperfusion and increased vascular resistance, along with SRD and choroidal thickening, in a patient with PIH with reversal after treatment with antihypertensive drugs. These findings demonstrate the importance of evaluation of ocular blood flow and vascular resistance in women with PIH in order to routinely assess the clinical and systemic condition.
