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 determine if the optic nerve head (ONH) response to transient elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) can predict the extent of neural loss in the nonhuman primate experimental glaucoma model. Methods: The anterior chamber pressure of 21 healthy animals (5.4 ± 1.2 years, 8 female) was adjusted to 25 mm Hg for two hours followed by 10 mm Hg for an additional two hours. For the duration of IOP challenge the ONH was imaged using radial optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans at five-minute intervals. Afterward, a randomized sample of 14 of these subjects had unilateral experimental glaucoma induced and were monitored with OCT imaging, tonometry, and ocular biometry at two-week intervals. Results: With pressure challenge, the maximum decrease in ONH minimum rim width (MRW) was 40 ± 10.5 µm at 25 mm Hg and was correlated with the precannulation MRW, Bruch's membrane opening (BMO) position, and the anterior lamina cribrosa surface position (P = 0.01). The maximum return of MRW at 10 mm Hg was 16.1 ± 5.0 µm and was not associated with any precannulation ONH feature (P = 0.24). However, healthy eyes with greater thickness return at 10 mm Hg had greater loss of MRW and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) at a cumulative IOP of 1000 mm Hg · days after induction of experimental glaucoma. In addition, MRW and RNFL thinning was correlated with an increase in axial length (P < 0.01). Conclusion: This study's findings suggest that the ONH's response to transient changes in IOP are associated with features of the ONH and surrounding tissues. The neural rim properties at baseline and the extent of axial elongation are associated with the severity of glaucomatous loss in the nonhuman primate model.
