The analysis of the glaucoma screening event results obtained during the World Glaucoma Week in Zagreb, Croatia.
Article in International ophthalmology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeTo report the prevalence of undiagnosed glaucoma, as well as demographic characteristics and risk factors among glaucoma suspects who were detected in a publicly promoted intraocular pressure (IOP) based glaucoma screening event.
methodsA total of 2468 subjects older than 18 years participated in the glaucoma screening event in Zagreb, in 2014, which included a medical interview and IOP measurement using Icare tonometer. 256 subjects (10.37%) were identified as glaucoma suspects, out of which 125 (5.06%) subjects underwent further detailed ophthalmic examination and were classified into five diagnostic groups.
resultsThe prevalence of all types of newly diagnosed glaucoma was 1.175%, while the prevalence of ocular hypertension (OH), primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), primary angle closure (PAC) and secondary glaucoma (SG) was 0.16%, 0.89%, 0.16% and 0.12%, respectively. The prevalence of newly diagnosed glaucoma in glaucoma suspects was 23.2%. 17.60% of glaucoma suspects were diagnosed as POAG. Older age was statistically significantly associated with POAG (p = 0.001) and PAC (p = 0.029). At the univariate level, refractive errors were a statistically significant predictor of POAG, and those with hyperopia had more than three times larger odds for POAG. At the multivariate level, none of the predictors reached statistical significance.
conclusionSuccessful cooperation between healthcare institutions and media can be a useful way of increasing awareness and detection of individuals at an increased risk for developing glaucoma.
