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 discriminate between compressive optic neuropathy with glaucoma-like cupping (GL-CON) and glaucomatous optic neuropathy (GON) by comparing the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) thickness and retinal microvasculature using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). Methods: In this retrospective cross-sectional study, OCT scans were performed on 28 eyes of GL-CON, 34 eyes of GON, and 41control eyes to determine the pRNFL thickness, ganglion cell complex thickness, and cup/disc ratio. OCTA scans were conducted for 12 eyes of GL-CON, 15 eyes of GON, and 15 control eyes to measure the vessel density of the peripapillary and macular areas. Analysis of covariance was used to perform the comparisons, and the area under the curve was calculated. Results: The GON eyes had a significantly thinner pRNFL in the inferior quadrant and greater vertical cup/disc ratio than the GL-CON eyes. In the radial peripapillary capillary segment, the vessel density of the GON in the inferior sectors was significantly lower than in the GL-CON. The superficial macular vessel density in the whole-image, peritemporal, perinasal, and peri-inferior sectors was significantly smaller in the GON group than in the GL-CON group. The best parameter for discriminating between GL-CON and GON was the superficial macular vessel density in the peritemporal sector. Conclusions: GL-CON eyes showed a characteristic pattern of pRNFL and retinal microvascular changes. Translational Relevance: GL-CON can be effectively distinguished from GON by detecting the alterations in the pRNFL and retinal microvasculature using OCT and OCTA.
