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 whether the planning of selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) influences the intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open angle glaucoma (OAG). Methods: In this retrospective case-control study conducted on patients with OAG who planned to undergo SLT treatment (SLT group) or a visual field examination (VF group), we collected the demographic data, IOP on the planning day and on the scheduled day of the SLT treatment or VF examination. ΔIOP was defined as the IOP change between the planning day and the scheduled day. We used multivariable regression analyses and linear mixed model to evaluate the association between the abovementioned factors and ΔIOP in the VF group and the treatment eye (SLT Results: One hundred and fifty-three eyes of 102 patients with OAG were included, of which 51 patients in the SLT group and 51 patients in the VF group. The ΔIOP was -1.92 ± 2.77 mmHg in the SLT Conclusions: The IOP was significantly reduced in patients with OAG after "planning" of SLT treatment, even without actual performing the laser treatment in our retrospective case-control study.
