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

purposeMultifocal pupillographic objective perimetry (mfPOP) is being developed as an alternative to subjective threshold perimetry for the management of visual and neurological disorders. Here, we evaluate, in normal subjects, differences in signal quality between the original mfPOP method of spatially sparse Continuous stimulus presentation and the new Clustered Volleys (CVs) method. We hypothesized that the CVs method would lead to increased signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) over the original method due to the stabilization of gain within the pupillary system.

methodsData were collected from six separate studies where otherwise-identical pairs of mfPOP tests using either the original Continuous stimulus presentation method or the new CVs method were undertaken; 440 6-minute tests from 96 normal subjects of varying ages were included. Per-region SNRs were compared between the two methods.

resultsMean SNRs for the CVs mfPOP variants were between 35% and 57% larger than the original Continuous mfPOP variants (P < 0.001 in five of six studies). Similarly, the goodness-of-fit measure (r2) demonstrated large and significant fold increases of between 2.3× and 3.4× over the original method (all P < 0.001). Significant improvements in SNRs were present in all of the 88 test regions (44/eye), ranging between 8.4% and 93.7%; mean SNRs were significantly larger in 98% of test subjects.

conclusionsThe CVs mfPOP stimulus presentation method produced substantial increases in signal quality over the original method. This is likely due to the stabilization of pupillary gain during stimulus presentation. TRANSLATIONAL RELEVANCE: These improvements increase diagnostic accuracy and have enabled shorter, 80-second mfPOP tests to be developed.
