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

This study aimed to comprehensively analyze various parameters in advanced glaucoma patients to identify the factors that can affect best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in advanced glaucoma. This cross-sectional retrospective study included 113 patients (mean age, 61.66 ± 13.26 years; males, 67) who had advanced glaucomatous damage (113 eyes; mean BCVA, 0.18 ± 0.38 logMAR; mean deviation of 30-2 visual field [VF], -19.08 ± 6.23 dB). Peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and total and segmented macular thickness (RNFL, ganglion cell layer (GCL), and inner plexiform layer (GCL)) were measured using Spectralis optical coherence tomography (OCT). Correlations between BCVA and OCT parameters or 30-2 VF parameters were assessed using Pearson correlation analysis. Multivariate regression analysis was performed to determine the factors associated with BCVA in advanced glaucoma patients. Peripapillary RNFL thickness, subfoveal choroidal thickness, and global macular RNFL, GCL, IPL, and total thickness were found to be significantly correlated with BCVA and central visual function. Multivariate analysis showed a significant correlation between subfoveal choroidal thickness and BCVA. In addition, central VF mean sensitivity, especially inferior hemifield, showed a significant relationship with BCVA. In conclusion, subfoveal choroidal thickness and central VF sensitivity, especially the inferior hemifield area, are factors that affect BCVA in advanced glaucoma.
