Shortening of interpupillary distance after topical prostaglandin analog eye drop application in an ophthalmic surgeon: A case report.

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
Purpose: This study reports a case of interpupillary distance (IPD) shortening after instillation of topical prostaglandin analog (PGA) eye drops. Observations: The patient was a 36-year-old ophthalmic vitreoretinal surgeon from Tochigi, Japan, with primary open-angle glaucoma and bilaterally instilled PGA eye drops to decrease intraocular pressure. His IPD had been recorded closely based on surgical microscope settings. The patient had a stable IPD for over five years before the use of PGA drops. The patient noticed IPD shortening associated with latanoprost usage since four years. The IPD shortened further twice with temporal switching to bimatoprost. However, the IPD partially recovered both the times on discontinuing the medication over the course of several months. Conclusions and Importance: Fluctuations in IPD with visible cosmetic changes occur in association with the use of topical PGA eye drops. There might be effects of PGA drops on binocular vision, which are possibly unaddressed and warrant further study.
