Trial report in Ophthalmology. Glaucoma. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03267849 (Lamina Cribrosa Depth Change With Change in Eye Pressure), which is not on this map. Cited by 16 papers.

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.

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.

Abstract

objectiveTo measure biomechanical strains in the lamina cribrosa (LC) of living human eyes with intraocular pressure (IOP) lowering.

designCohort study.

participantsPatients with glaucoma underwent imaging before and after laser suturelysis after trabeculectomy surgery (29 image pairs; 26 persons).

interventionNoninvasive imaging of the eye.

main outcome measuresStrains in optic nerve head tissue and changes in depths of the anterior border of the LC.

resultsIntraocular pressure decreases caused the LC to expand in thickness in the anterior-posterior strain (E

conclusionsWith IOP lowering, the LC moves either into or out of the eye but, on average, expands in thickness and contracts in radius. Shear strains are nearly as substantial as in-plane strains. Biomechanical strains are more compliant in eyes with greater glaucoma damage. This work was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov as NCT03267849.
