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: To investigate the effect of Corneal Visualization Scheimpflug Technology tonometry (CST) on intraocular pressure (IOP). Design: Cohort study. Participants: Patients with and without primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) were included. Methods: Intraocular pressure was measured using the Icare rebound tonometer (ICRT; Icare Finland Oy) and the biomechanically corrected IOP (bIOP) using the CST. Intraocular pressure was measured at baseline with ICRT, followed by a CST measurement in one eye with the fellow eye acting as a control. Icare measurements were repeated at 10 seconds and 1, 2, 4, 8, 15, 30, and 60 minutes in both eyes. The ratio of test eye IOP to fellow eye IOP was used to control for intrasubject variation. Main Outcome Measures: Intraocular pressure change following Corneal Visualization Scheimflug Technology tonometry. Results: Forty participants (mean age, 54.09 ± 20.08 years) were included comprising 20 patients with POAG and 20 patients with no ocular abnormalities other than cataract. Mean central corneal thickness was similar in those without POAG (547.4 ± 55.05 μm) and with POAG (520.22 ± 37.59 μm; Conclusions: Corneal Visualization Scheimpflug Technology tonometry causes a significant reduction in IOP in both glaucomatous and healthy eyes that lasts for at least 1 hour afterward.
