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

Background: Pigment dispersion syndrome (PDS) is characterized by dispersion of pigment in the anterior chamber structures and can present with deposits on the central corneal endothelium or Krukenberg spindle, iris trans-illumination spoke-like defects, and increased pigmentation in the iridocorneal angle. It is more common in myopic patients with a predominance in young males in the third to fifth decade of life that affects about 1-2% of the population. PDS is a risk factor and can give lead to a rise in intraocular pressure (IOP) and secondary glaucoma. Pigmentary glaucoma (PG) can develop from PDS in the presence of elevated IOP coupled with glaucomatous optic neuropathy, retinal nerve fiber thinning, and/or visual field defects. PDS and PG have the same clinical features, representing different levels of severity on the same clinical spectrum. Relevance for Patients: Early diagnosis, appropriate management, and follow-up of patients with PDS are important to prevent vision deterioration or blindness due to glaucomatous optic neuropathy.
