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: The hallmark of non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) is vascular compromise to the anterior optic nerve and thinning of the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and secondary degeneration of the retinal ganglion cell body or thinning of the ganglion cell complex (GCC). This study investigates optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT Angiography (OCTA) changes in chronic NAION and identifies imaging biomarkers that best predict disease. Methods: We performed a retrospective case-control study of 24 chronic NAION eyes (18 patients) and 70 control eyes (45 patients) to compare both whole-eye and regional OCT, OCTA, static perimetry measurements. OCT measurements were quantified automatically using commercial software, and OCTA was analyzed using custom MATLAB script with large vessel removal to measure 154 total parameters per eye. Results: We confirmed that static perimetry mean deviation (MD) was significantly worse in chronic NAION (-13.53 ± 2.36) than control (-0.47 ± 0.72; Conclusion: Ischemic insult to the optic disk is more severe likely from primary degeneration of the affected peripapillary region while macula is affected by secondary retrograde degeneration and loss of retinal ganglion cells. In addition to OCT measurements, peripapillary and macular vascular parameters such as VAD and flux are good predictors of optic nerve and retinal changes in NAION.
