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 investigate the correlation between the color Doppler imaging (CDI) results and parameters determined by spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in cases with pseudoexfoliation syndrome (XFS).

methods99 participants were included in this prospective study. Retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), ganglion cell complex (GCC), optic nerve head (ONH) measurements were recorded. Perfusions of the ophthalmic artery (OA) and central retinal artery (CRA) were determined and resistivity indices (RI) were calculated.

resultsNo statistically significant differences were determined between the groups regarding the RNFL and ONH parameters. Only the minimum GCC thickness value was determined to be reduced in XFS group (n = 49) when compared to the controls (n = 50) (p = 0.018). The OA-RI and CRA-RI values of XFS group were significantly higher than the control group (p < 0.001 and p = 0.001). In XFSs, negative correlations were present between OA-RI and the minimum, average, inferior and inferotemporal regions of GCC thickness (r = - 0.448 p = 0.001, r = - 0.275 p = 0.040, r = - 0.295 p = 0.027, r = - 0.304 p = 0.024, respectively), and also between CRA-RI and minimum GCC values (r = - 0.317, p = 0.017). While a significant relationship was present between age and OA-RI and CRA-RI values in controls, no such correlation was present in XFSs.

conclusionsThe vascular resistance increased with age in controls, whereas it was independent of age in XFS group. In XFSs, RIs correlated significantly with certain GCC values, but not with RNFL and ONH parameters. It would be beneficial to follow the XFS with CDI as it provides supportive parameters to GCC in order to recognize early changes in XFS.
