Determinants of late presentation of glaucoma in Hong Kong.

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
backgroundGlaucoma is the commonest cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. As it is typically asymptomatic until advanced, the risk of blindness from late presentation is higher than other eye diseases. This study aims to investigate the risk factors for late presentation of primary glaucoma patients.
methodsWe undertook a hospital-based case-control study of a random sample of glaucoma patients from a hospital in Hong Kong. Structured questionnaires and existing information from the electronic patient record were used, and the odds of presenting late were analysed by logistic regression.
resultsOf 210 recruited participants, 83 (39.5%) presented with advanced glaucoma unilaterally or bilaterally. The mean age of participants was 61.1 ± 11.9 years, with 110 males (52.4%). Univariate analysis revealed that male sex and primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) have 3.06 (CI
conclusionIn conclusion, a high proportion of glaucoma patients present late in Hong Kong, with gender and type of glaucoma being significant determinants. Our study shows that PACG presents with higher IOP and, along with male gender, are more likely to have advanced disease than POAG.
