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 estimate retinal ganglion cell (RGC) count in glaucoma suspects (GS) and ascertain its relationships with steady-state pattern electroretinography (ssPERG) parameters.

methodsIn this prospective cross-sectional study, 22 subjects (44 eyes) were recruited at the Manhattan Eye, Ear, and Throat Hospital. Subjects underwent complete eye examinations, optical coherence tomography, standard automated perimetry, and ssPERG testing. Eyes were divided into two groups based upon clinical data: healthy subjects and GS. RGC count was estimated using the combined structure-function index.

resultsEstimated RGC count, average retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (ARNFLT), and average ganglion cell layer and inner plexiform layer thickness (GCIPLT) were reduced in GS eyes (p ≤ 0.001 for all parameters). Pearson correlations revealed that ssPERG magnitude and magnitudeD correlated with ARNFLT (r ≥ 0.53, p < 0.001), GCIPLT (r > 0.38, p < 0.011), and estimated RGC count (r > 0.46, p < 0.002). Six mediation analyses revealed that estimated RGC count mediated the relationships among ssPERG parameters, ARNFLT, and GCIPLT.

conclusionSteady-state PERG parameters demonstrated linear correlations with estimated RGC count. The associations among ssPERG parameters and structural measures were mediated by estimated RGC count.
