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

After almost a century from its introduction in clinical practice, slit-lamp gonioscopy is still considered the reference standard for evaluating the anterior chamber angle (ACA). Gonioscopy is essential for diagnosing angle closure disease, and ACA features are included in glaucoma's diagnostics and treatments algorithms. However, shortcomings of slit-lamp gonioscopy include a steep learning curve, lack of agreement between examiners and poor documentation. Thanks to advances in miniaturization and computing, new instruments for digital gonioscopy have been developed and marketed. This narrative review focuses on the Gonioscope GS-1, which permits semi-automated circumferential documentation of the ACA in real-colour photographs. Advantages and disadvantages of GS-1 compared with slit-lamp gonioscopy and other ACA imaging technologies such as optical coherence tomography are discussed. Finally, potential opportunities offered by this device for telemedicine, virtual clinics, and automatic classification with deep learning are presented.
