Microvasculature Recovery Detected Using Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography and the Rate of Visual Field Progression After Glaucoma Surgery.
Article in Investigative ophthalmology & visual science, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 13 papers.
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.
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: We evaluated microvascular changes using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) in glaucoma patients who underwent glaucoma surgery. Methods: The macula and optic nerve head were imaged using an OCT-A device at one day before surgery and at one week, one month, three months, and six months after surgery. Measurements of vessel density (VD) were made in the intradisc region and macula, and the area of the foveal avascular zone (FAZ) was measured in both superficial and deep vascular layers. A mean deviation (MD) slope value of < -1.0 decibel/y was considered to be indicative of VF progression. Results: A significant increase in VD was observed postoperatively in the deep vascular layer of the intradisc area (P < 0.001), and a significant decrease in the FAZ area was evident in the deep vascular layer (P = 0.018). An increase in the intradisc deep VD (17.48% ± 5.63%) was statistically significant in glaucoma eyes without progression, compared with those with progression (-1.27% ± 2.19%). Worse preoperative MD of the VF (P = 0.006), lower preoperative intradisc VD (P < 0.001), and fewer changes in the intradisc deep VD after surgery (P < 0.001) were significantly associated with MD slope. Conclusions: We found deep VD changes in the laminar region of the optic nerve head and the macular area at up to postoperative one month after glaucoma surgery. An increase in the deep VD in the laminar region was beneficial to VF progression in glaucoma patients after surgery.
