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

purposeTo compare retinal oxygen delivery (DO2) and oxygen extraction (VO2) in ophthalmologically healthy subjects with different blood pressure (BP) status.

methodsIn this case-control study, we prospectively included 93 eyes of 93 subjects (aged 50-65 years) from a Dutch cohort (n = 167,000) and allocated them to four groups (low BP, normal BP [controls], treated arterial hypertension [AHT], untreated AHT). We estimated vascular calibers from fundus images and fractal dimension from optical coherence tomography angiography scans. We combined calibers, fractal dimension, BP, and intraocular pressure measurements in a proxy of retinal blood flow (RBF), using a Poiseuille-based model. We measured arterial and venous oxygen saturations (SaO2, SvO2) with a scanning laser ophthalmoscope. We calculated the DO2 and VO2 from the RBF, SaO2, and SvO2. We compared the DO2 and VO2 between groups and investigated the DO2-VO2 association.

resultsDO2 and VO2 were different between groups (P = 0.009, P = 0.036, respectively). In a post hoc analysis, the low BP group had lower DO2 than the untreated AHT group (P = 4.9 × 10-4). The low BP group and the treated AHT group had a lower VO2 than the untreated AHT group (P = 0.021 and P = 0.034, respectively). There was a significant DO2-VO2 correlation (Robs = 0.65, bobs = 0.51, P = 2.4 × 10-12). After correcting for shared measurement error, the slope was not significant.

conclusionsThe DO2 and VO2 were altered in ophthalmologically healthy subjects with different BP status. Future studies could elucidate whether these changes can explain the increased risk of ophthalmic pathologies in those subjects. TRANSLATIONAL RELEVANCE: Understanding the baseline interplay between BP, retinal perfusion, and oxygenation allows for improved evaluation of retinal disease manifestation.
