Efficacy of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy on Central Corneal Thickness, Intraocular Pressure, and Nerve Fiber Layer in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes: A Prospective Cohort Study.

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
purposeTo evaluate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on central corneal thickness (CCT), intraocular pressure (IOP), and the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
methodsThis prospective non-randomized cohort study consisted of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients who received 30 sessions of HBOT for diabetic foot ulcer. The CCT, IOP, and RNFL measured at baseline, after the 10th session of HBOT, after the 20th session of HBOT, after the 30th session of HBOT, and after the 3 months of the last session of HBOT. We gained the superior-nasal, superior-temporal, inferior-nasal, inferior-temporal, nasal and temporal quadrant RNFL values with a spectral-domain optical coharence tomography.
resultsForty-six eyes of 46 patients included in the study. During the study period, a statistically significant increase in mean IOP values compared to baseline was observed (p < 0.001). We found no significant changes at CCT and all quadrants of RNFL values during HBOT and after 3 months of the treatment (p > 0.05). During the study period, the IOP levels increased over 21 mmHg (between 22 and 28 mmHg) in seven eyes (15.2%). The mean hemoglobin A1c values of these patients with IOP >21 mmHg were 8.2 ± 0.9 mg/dL, and there was significant differences compared with those of patients with IOP values ≤21 mmHg (7.4 ± 2.8 mg/dL) (p = 0.001).
conclusionsHBOT increase IOP in type 2 diabetic patients especially in ones with impaired blood glucose regulation. However, it does not cause any changes in CCT and RNFL. As diabetic retinopathy and diabetic foot ulcer are in common pathologies, thus this brief report concludes a need for further studies with longer follow-up periods to explore the potential interaction of HBOT on CCT, IOP, and RNFL.
