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

This study investigated the progression detection capabilities of circumpapillary and macular vessel density (cpVD and mVD) in advanced primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) eyes using the rates of change in VD (trend-based analysis) and variability limits derived from healthy eyes. (event-based analysis) This study included 75 POAG eyes [visual field (VF) mean deviation < - 10 decibels, mean follow-up; 2.3 years] and 33 healthy eyes. Of 75 POAG eyes, 17 (22.7 %) and 58 eyes (77.3 %) were classified into the VF progression and stable groups, respectively. The VF progression group showed significantly faster VD loss than the stable group. (cpVD; - 1.76 vs. - 0.84 %/year, mVD; - 1.10 vs. - 0.47 %/year, P < 0.05) However, the rates of change in circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer and macular ganglion cell complex thickness were similar between the groups. (cpRNFLT; - 0.67 vs. - 0.53 [Formula: see text]m/year, GCCT; - 0.48 vs. - 0.12 [Formula: see text]m/year, P > 0.05) Event-based analysis showed stronger agreement between VD and VF progression (cpVD; kappa value (k) = 0.630, mVD; k = 0.667, P < 0.05) than that between structure and VF progression. (cpRNFLT; k = 0.111, GCCT; k = 0.194, P > 0.05). In conclusion, VD loss showed better progression detection capabilities than structural loss in advanced POAG eyes. Detection of cpVD and mVD loss may be useful for detecting progression in the advanced stages of POAG to complement other reference standard strategies.
