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

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess ocular coat mechanical behavior using controlled ocular microvolumetric injections (MVI) of 15 µL of balanced salt solution (BSS) infused over 1 second into the anterior chamber (AC) via a syringe pump. Methods: Intraocular pressure (IOP) was continuously recorded at 200 Hz with a validated implantable IOP telemetry system in 7 eyes of 7 male rhesus macaques (nonhuman primates [NHPs]) during 5 MVIs in a series at native (3 trials), 15 and 20 mm Hg baseline IOPs, repeated in 2 to 5 sessions at least 2 weeks apart. Ocular rigidity coefficients (K) and ocular pulse volume (PV) were calculated for each trial. Data were averaged across sessions within eyes; PV was analyzed with a three-level nested ANOVA, and parameter relationships were analyzed with Pearson Correlation and linear regression. Results: After MVI at native baseline IOP of 10.4 ± 1.6 mm Hg, IOP increased by 9.1 ± 2.8 mm Hg (∆IOP) at a 9.6 ± 2.7 mm Hg/s slope, ocular pulse amplitude (OPA) was 0.70 ± 0.13 mm Hg on average; the average K was 0.042 ± 0.010 µL-1 and average PV was 1.16 ± 0.43 µL. PV varied significantly between trials, days, and eyes (P ≤ 0.05). OPA was significantly correlated with K at native IOP: Pearson coefficients ranged from 0.71 to 0.83 (P ≤ 0.05) and R2 ranged from 0.50 to 0.69 (P ≤ 0.05) during the first trial. Conclusions: The MVI-driven ∆IOP and slope can be used to assess ocular coat mechanical behavior and measure ocular rigidity. Translational Relevance: Importantly, OPA at native IOP is correlated with ocular rigidity despite the significant variability in PV between heartbeats.
