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

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the difference in pulsatile trabecular meshwork (TM) motion between normal and eyes with POAG using phase-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PhS-OCT). Methods: In this cross-sectional study, eight healthy subjects (16 eyes) and nine patients with POAG (18 eyes) were enrolled. A laboratory-based prototype PhS-OCT system was used to measure pulsatile TM motion. PhS-OCT images were analyzed to obtain parameters of pulsatile TM motion (i.e. maximum velocity [MV] and cumulative displacement [CDisp]). Outflow facility and ocular pulse amplitude were measured using pneumotonography. Detection sensitivity was compared among various parameters by calculating the area under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUCs). Results: A pulsatile TM motion waveform synchronous with digital pulse was observed using PhS-OCT in both healthy and POAG eyes. The mean MV in eyes with glaucoma was significantly lower than healthy eyes (P < 0.001). The mean CDisp in POAG eyes was also significantly lower than healthy eyes (P < 0.001). CDisp showed a significant correlation (r = 0.46; P = 0.0088) with ocular pulse amplitude in the study. Compared with the outflow facility, both the MV and CDisp were found to have a better discrimination of glaucoma (P < 0.001 and P = 0.0074, respectively). Conclusions: Pulsatile TM motion was reduced in patients with POAG compared to healthy subjects. The underlying mechanism may be due to the altered tissue stiffness or other biomechanical properties of the TM in POAG eyes. Our evidence suggests that the measurement of pulsatile TM motion with PhS-OCT may help in characterizing outflow pathway abnormalities.
