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

purposeTo compare anterior segment parameters between myopes with and without primary open-angle glaucoma using Pentacam scheimpflug tomography.

methodsThis was a single-center retrospective cross-sectional study. Records of patients examined with a Pentacam scheimpflug tomographer (Wavelight-Allegro Oculyzer, GmbH, Erlangen, Germany) were reviewed. Variables studied were recorded from the topographic map and included anterior chamber angle, anterior chamber volume, anterior chamber depth, keratometric readings, and corneal thickness. A general linear model for age-and spherical equivalent refraction-adjusted intergroup comparisons of the anterior segment parameters was conducted.

resultsThe study included myopes previously diagnosed with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) [Mild defect, n = 81; Moderate-severe defect, n = 50] and non-glaucomatous myopes (n = 247). The results revealed a smaller anterior chamber angle, shallower anterior chamber depth, and flatter cornea curvature in the mildly glaucomatous group compared to the non-glaucomatous group (p < 0.05). Smaller anterior chamber angle, shallower anterior chamber depth, and thinner cornea thickness were also observed in the moderate-severely glaucomatous group compared to the non-glaucomatous group (p < 0.05).

conclusionGlaucomatous damage in myopic patients with POAG was associated with comparatively small anterior chamber angle, shallow anterior chamber depth, flat cornea curvature, and thin cornea.
