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

purposeTo evaluate the reproducibility of the imo binocular random single-eye test (BRSET) and Humphrey Field Analyzer (HFA) monocular test in patients with glaucoma. STUDY

designRetrospective observational study.

methodsWe measured the visual fields (VF) of patients with glaucoma using the BRSET and HFA. All tests were repeated two months later. Mean sensitivity (MS), mean deviation (MD), sensitivity at each test location, and reliability indices were compared between the test days. Wilcoxon signed-rank test, interclass correlation coefficient (ICC), correlation coefficients, and Bland-Altman plots were generated for analysis.

resultsWe analyzed the VFs of 46 patients with glaucoma. There were no test-retest differences for MS and MD, and ICCs were > 0.9 for MS and MD in both perimeters. Inter-test correlations for MS and MD were high. The limits of agreement (LoAs) (lower, upper limit) between test days for MS were (- 3.4, 4.0) for BRSET and (-3.3, 3.0) for HFA. The LoA for MD was (- 3.3, 3.8) for BRSET and (- 3.2, 2.9) for HFA. Sensitivity at each testing location was more variable between testing days for BRSET than for HFA. For reliability indices, LoAs between testing days were wider for BRSET than for HFA.

conclusionThe imo BRSET showed similar reproducibility to HFA in MS and MD. However, sensitivity at each test location varied more for BRSET than for HFA. Further studies are needed to verify the reproducibility of the imo BRSET.
