Measurement of Intraocular Pressure with Applanation, Dynamic Contour, and Air-Puff Tonometers: A Comparative Study in Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma and Healthy Cases.
Article in Beyoglu eye journal, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesThis study aimed to investigate and compare the reliability of Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT), dynamic contour (DCT), and noncontact (NCT) tonometers in intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement and the affecting parameters in healthy subjects and cases with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).
methodsLeft eyes of 64 cases (32 males and 32 females) were selected for this prospective, controlled study. Of these cases, 33 had POAG, and 31 were selected as control. IOP measurement was performed using NCT, DCT, and GAT consecutively for each patient, and then central corneal thickness (CCT) was measured. Ocular pulse amplitude (OPA) and all values were recorded.
resultsThe mean age was 53.36±10 years (31-80 years), and CCT was 561±45 µ. IOP was found as 16.39±3.75 mmHg with GAT, 17.89±3.55 mmHg with DCT, and 15.76±3.49 mmHg with NCT. A significant difference was found between DCT with NCT and GAT. Whereas, a positive correlation was found between CCT with all the three methods used, with DCT as the weakest. While the correlation between all the three methods was excellent, the strongest was found to be between DCT and GAT. Thick corneas affected all the three methods, but DCT was the least affected. While DCT tends to measure higher than both GAT and NCT, this difference decreased as the corneal thickness increased. OPA was found to be 2.56±1.04 mmHg; no statistical difference was found between the groups. A correlation was found between OPA and IOP, and OPA was found to be significantly higher in women.
conclusionDCT is minimally affected by corneal factors, especially in thin corneas, and shows excellent correlation with GAT. This new-generation digital tonometer can be used safely in glaucoma diagnosis and follow-up.
