Effect of Testing Frequency on the Time to Detect Glaucoma Progression With Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and OCT Angiography.
Observational study in American journal of ophthalmology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06991712 (Comparisons of Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide), which is not on this map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
purposeTo determine how the frequency of testing affects the time required to detect statistically significant glaucoma progression for circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (cpRNFL) with optical coherence tomography (OCT) and circumpapillary capillary density (cpCD) with OCT angiography (OCTA).
designRetrospective, observational cohort study.
methodsIn this longitudinal study, 156 eyes of 98 patients with glaucoma followed up over an average of 3.5 years were enrolled. Participants with 4 or more OCT and OCTA tests were included to measure the longitudinal rates of cpRNFL thickness and cpCD change over time using linear regression. Estimates of variability were then used to re-create real-world cpRNFL and cpCD data by computer simulation to evaluate the time required to detect progression for various loss rates and different testing frequencies.
resultsThe time required to detect a statistically significant negative cpRNFL and cpCD slope decreased as the testing frequency increased, albeit not proportionally. cpCD detected progression slightly earlier than cpRNFL. Eighty percent of eyes with a cpCD loss of -1%/y were detected after 6.0, 4.2, and 4 years when testing was performed 1, 2, and 3 times per year, respectively. Progression in 80% of eyes with a cpRNFL loss of -1 µm/y was detected after 6.3, 5.0, and 4.2 years, respectively.
conclusionscpRNFL and cpCD are comparable in detecting progression. As there were only small changes in the time to detect progression when testing increased from 2 to 3 times per year, testing twice per year may provide sufficient information for detecting progression with either OCT or OCTA in clinical settings.
