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 investigate differences in outflow facility between angiographically determined high- and low-flow segments of the conventional outflow pathway in porcine eyes. Methods: Porcine anterior segments (n = 14) were mounted in a perfusion chamber and perfused using Dulbecco's phosphate buffered solution with glucose. Fluorescein angiography was performed to determine high- and low-flow regions of the conventional outflow pathways. The trabecular meshwork (TM) was occluded using cyanoacrylate glue, except for residual 5-mm TM areas that were either high or low flow at baseline, designating these eyes as "residual high-flow" or "residual low-flow" eyes. Subsequently, outflow was quantitatively reassessed and compared between residual high-flow and residual low-flow eyes followed by indocyanine green angiography. Results: Fluorescein aqueous angiography demonstrated high-flow and low-flow regions. Baseline outflow facilities were 0.320 ± 0.08 and 0.328 ± 0.10 µL/min/mmHg (P = 0.676) in residual high-flow and residual low-flow eyes before TM occlusion, respectively. After partial trabecular meshwork occlusion, outflow facility decreased to 0.209 ± 0.07 µL/min/mmHg (-32.66% ± 19.53%) and 0.114 ± 0.08 µL/min/mmHg (-66.57% ± 23.08%) in residual high- and low-flow eyes (P = 0.035), respectively. There was a significant difference in the resulting IOP increase (P = 0.034). Conclusions: Angiographically determined high- and low-flow regions in the conventional outflow pathways differ in their segmental outflow facility; thus, there is an uneven distribution of local outflow facility across different parts of the TM.
