Changes in intraocular pressure and ocular pulse amplitude of rhesus macaques after blue light scleral cross-linking.

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
backgroundScleral cross-linking can enhance the biomechanical strength of the sclera and is expected to be a new operative method for the prevention of myopia. However, studies investigating the changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) and ocular pulse amplitude (OPA) after blue light-riboflavin induced scleral collagen cross-linking (SXL) in rhesus monkeys are limited. This study aimed to investigate the changes in IOP and OPA in three-year-old rhesus macaques 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months after blue light-riboflavin SXL.
methodsSeven three-year-old rhesus macaques (14 eyes) were randomly divided into two groups, with 4 monkeys in group A (8 eyes) and 3 monkeys in group B (6 eyes). The right eye of each rhesus macaque was used as the experimental eye, whereas the left eye was used as the control. In group A, one quadrant of each right eye was irradiated. In group B, two quadrants of each right eye and one quadrant of each left eye were irradiated. The IOP and OPA of both eyes were measured in all seven rhesus macaques before SXL and 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months postoperatively, and differences in the IOP and OPA between the experimental and control eyes were evaluated via the paired t test.
resultsIn groups A and B, there were no significant differences between the experimental and control eyes in the IOP or OPA before SXL or 1 week, 1 month, or 3 months postoperatively (P > 0.05).
conclusionsThe IOP and OPA are not significantly affected in 1 vs 0 or in 1 vs 2 quadrants of blue light SXL.
