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 investigate the development of angle closure from baseline open angle and associated risk factors in a rural Chinese population through a longitudinal study over a 5-year period.

methodsSubjects aged ≥30 years and older with bilateral open angles at baseline of the Handan Eye Study who participated in the follow-up and had undergone both baseline and follow-up gonioscopic examinations were included. Subjects with any form of angle closure, glaucoma, incisional ocular surgery or other conditions that could influence the results were excluded. The development of angle closure was defined as the presence of primary angle closure suspect (PACS) or primary angle closure (PAC)/primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) during the follow-up in normal subjects with baseline bilateral open angles. Logistic regression was performed to identify the baseline risk factors for the development of angle closure.

resultsA total of 457 subjects with bilateral open angles at baseline aged 53.0 (45.5, 58.0) years were enrolled. 94.7% of the included cases developed PACS, 5.3% developed PAC and no one developed PACG after 5 years. In logistic regression, significant risk factors for the development of angle closure were shallower central anterior chamber depth (ACD) (p = 0.002) and narrower mean angle width (p < 0.001).

conclusionsThis study reports the development from baseline open angle to angle closure after a 5-year follow-up. We confirm that the mean angle width and central ACD were independent predictive risk factors for the development of any form of angle closure.
