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 develop nomograms for converting Full Threshold (FT) and Swedish Interactive Threshold Algorithm (SITA) Fast (SF) tests to SITA Standard (SS) tests with the Humphrey Field Analyzer in patients with glaucoma and healthy subjects. Methods: One eye each of 49 patients with glaucoma and 50 healthy subjects was tested in 4 and 2 sessions (each containing the 3 strategies), respectively, over 4 weeks. The difference between pointwise Best Available Estimate (BAE; mean of all FT tests) and SS sensitivity at each session was used to derive four nomograms. Nomogram accuracy was assessed by: (1) comparing the converted FT to actual SS sensitivity (omitting the test session used to derive the nomogram) and (2) comparing the distribution of the differences between the converted and actual SS sensitivity to the actual SS test-retest differences. The process was repeated for SF and healthy subjects. Results: In patients with glaucoma, 39.85% and 59.69% of the conversion differences from FT were within 1 dB and 2 dB of the mean, respectively. The respective figures for SF were 45.69% and 65.04%, and in healthy subjects, they were 54.34% and 76.48% for FT and 61.17% and 82.66% for SF. The difference in the mean conversion and test-retest differences was <0.5 dB for all comparisons, with an overlap in distributions ranging from 78.75% to 85.24. There was no association between conversion differences and BAE for either FT or SF in either subject group. Conclusions: Nomograms to convert FT and SF tests to SS tests yield accuracies that are negligibly different from test-retest differences with SS. Translational Relevance: Nomograms allow direct comparisons between different perimetric strategies for a more comprehensive assessment of visual field change.
