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 purpose of this study was to evaluate the structure function relationship of circumpapillary vessel density (cpVD) with visual field sensitivity (VFS) and compare its characteristics with circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (cpRNFLT) in early glaucomatous (EG) and normal eyes with and without high myopia (HM). Methods: Seventy-five EG (mean deviation > -6 dB) and 7 normal eyes with HM (axial length [AL] >26.5 mm) and 111 EG and 11 normal eyes without HM were enrolled in this retrospective cross-sectional study. All patients underwent circumpapillary optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCTA) scanning with the Cirrus HD-6000 with AngioPlex OCTA (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Dublin, CA, USA). Structure function correlations were determined by comparing global, superior, inferior, and Garway-Heath sectoral values for cpVD and cpRNFLT with its corresponding 24-2 and 10-2 VFS of Humphrey Visual Field (HFA) analyzer. Results: CpVD showed no significant correlations with AL except for the nasal sector (P = 0.044), whereas cpRNFLT demonstrated significant positive association with AL in the global (P = 0.024), nasal (P = 0.020), and temporal (P < 0.001) sectors. In HM eyes, global and sectoral cpVD significantly correlated with corresponding VFS in all 24-2/10-2 VF sectors (all P < 0.05). CpVD-VFS correlation was significantly stronger than cpRNFLT-VFS in the nasal sector of HM eyes (P = 0.002) and temporal and inferior temporal sector of eyes without HM (P = 0.008 and P = 0.042, respectively). Conclusions: In EG eyes with HM, cpVD was less affected by AL in comparison to cpRNFLT and cpVD-VFS correlation was significant in all 24-2/10-2 VF sectors. AL-associated advantages of cpVD-VFS over cpRNFLT-VFS were observed.
