The different structure-function correlation as measured by OCT and octopus perimetry cluster analysis in intracranial tumor and glaucoma patients.

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
Background: To explore the correlation between visual field (VF) defect values and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness for intracranial tumor and glaucoma patients. Methods: Retrospective analysis is performed for the intracranial and glaucoma patients, whose VF defect values were measured with Octopus perimeter cluster analysis, RNFL thickness, ganglion cell layer (GCL) thickness, and optic disk parameters measured with swept-source OCT. The differences between VF and RNFL (including the data of optic disc) are calculated. The correlation between VF defect values and RNFL and GCL thickness are explored. Results: In total 43 eyes of 29 patients with intracranial tumor and 31 eyes of 19 patients with glaucoma were enrolled. The thickness of RNFL not only for the whole (360°), but also for the four quadrants was thinner in the glaucoma group than those of the intracranial tumor group (p<0.05), and similar to the thickness of GCL without significance (p>). There is no significant difference in VF for those two groups except glaucoma having lower sLV (p<0.05). A stronger correlation for mean deviations (MD)s of VF ten clusters and RNFL thickness of OCT twelve sectors is found in the glaucoma patients, but few in the intracranial tumor patients. Logistic regression also shows the loss of RNFL or increasing of vertical CDR and cup volume tending to the diagnosis of glaucoma and the irregular VF damage is inclined to the diagnosis of intracranial tumor. Conclusions: Intracranial tumor has a weak correlation between the RNFL thickness and Octopus VF MD, compared with that of glaucoma. OCT and Octopus VF might provide more helpful information for the differential diagnosis of intracranial tumor and glaucoma.
