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
Introduction Glaucoma is characterized by the loss of retinal nerve fiber tissues and the loss of the neuroretinal rim of the optic nerve head is termed glaucomatous optic neuropathy (GON). The early diagnosis of glaucoma requires measurement of intraocular pressure (IOP) by tonometry. The gold standard method widely used in clinical settings to measure IOP is Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT). Myopia is also considered a risk factor for glaucoma. Population-based and hospital-based evidence suggests that the prevalence of GON is higher in high myopic eyes than in emmetropic eyes. The present study aims to document the association between myopia and elevated IOP. Materials and methods A total of 400 medium and high myopic patients attending the ophthalmology outpatient department, in a tertiary care hospital, were measured for IOP using GAT and underwent a detailed clinical evaluation. All the patients also underwent slit lamp biomicroscopic examination and fundus examination. Other data included details on demographic, socio-economic, and occupational history. Results A detailed refractive error examination revealed that amongst 400 right eyes, 67.5% had medium myopia, while 66.75% of the left eye were medium myopic. Amongst the medium myopic eyes, the average IOP was 15.51±3.68 mm of Hg, while in high myopic, the average IOP was 16.19±3.33 mm of Hg. A difference of 0.68 mm of Hg with high myopic eyes having higher IOP values than medium myopic eyes was observed, and it was significant statistically with a p-value <0.05. Conclusion There is a statistically significant association between elevated IOP and the high myopic group. In comparison to IOP measured in medium myopic and high myopic patients, elevated IOP was observed in the high myopic group than in the medium myopic group.
