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: To investigate the retinal vascular response to hyperoxia in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). Methods: This prospective study included 27 eyes in 27 patients with POAG and 14 eyes in 14 age- and sex-matched healthy participants. Retinal radial peripapillary capillary (RPC) perfusion was measured by OCTA before and after inhaling oxygen in all participants. Systemic hemodynamic variables were also examined and recorded before and after hyperoxia. Results: Hyperoxia significantly reduced the perfused vessel density (PVD) of RPCs in both healthy controls (baseline and hyperoxia: 54.2 ± 4.1 and 51.0 ± 4.4, respectively, P < 0.001) and patients with POAG (baseline and hyperoxia: 44.7 ± 6.1 and 43.2 ± 5.4, respectively, P = 0.001). However, the changes in peripapillary PVD between the two gas conditions in patients with POAG were significantly lower than in healthy controls, including both the absolute change (baseline-hyperoxia: 1.5 ± 2.0 and 3.2 ± 1.2, respectively, P = 0.006) and relative change (ratio of absolute change and baseline value: 3.0% ± 4.6% and 6.0% ± 2.4%, respectively, P = 0.04). Conclusions: Retinal microvasculature responds to hyperoxia by reducing RPC perfusion in both healthy participants and patients with POAG. However, this vasoreactivity capacity was significantly impaired in patients with POAG.
