Structure-function assessment in glaucoma based on perimetric sensitivity and en face optical coherence tomography images of retinal nerve fiber bundles.
Article in Scientific reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
Many studies have assessed structure-function relations in glaucoma, but most without topographical comparison across the central 30°. We present a method for assessing structure-function relations with en face images of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) bundles allowing topographical comparison across much of this retinal area. Forty-four patients with glaucoma (median age 61 years) were recruited and tested with Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and perimetry. Six rectangular volume scans were gathered, and then montaged to provide en face views of the RNFL bundles. We calculated the proportion of locations showing a perimetric defect that also showed an en face RNFL defect; and the proportion of locations falling on an RNFL defect that also showed a perimetric defect. A perimetric defect for a location was defined as a total deviation (TD) value equal to or deeper than -4 dB. We found that the median (IQR) number of locations with abnormal RNFL bundle reflectance that also had abnormal TD was 78% (60%) and for locations with abnormal TD that also had abnormal RNFL bundle reflectance was 75% (44%). We demonstrated a potential approach for structure-function assessment in glaucoma by presenting a topographic reflectance map, confirming results of previous studies and including larger retinal regions.
