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 agreement between diurnal variation testing (DVT) of intraocular pressure (IOP) with Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT) and iCare HOME (IH) by an optometrist (OP) and home monitoring by participants (PT). Methods: Patients (18-80 years) with glaucoma and suspects were enrolled. IH IOP and GAT were taken by an OP at 2 h intervals from 8 AM to 4 PM on Day 1 and PT between 6 AM and 9 PM, for the next 2 days. IOP, date, and time were viewed via iCare LINK software. Results: In total,: 72.9. (: 51/70) PT trained were able to take reliable readings. One hundred two eyes (51 patients, age 53 ± 16 yrs) were analyzed. Correlation between optometrist (OP) and participants (PT) was strong and positive {IH OP-IH PT- r = 0.90, p-0.0001;IH PT-GAT- r = 0.79, p-0.0001}. Agreement by Bland Altman plots was limited {IH OP-IH PT mean 0.1 mmHg (95% LOA -5.3 to 5.5), IH PT-GAT 2.2 mmHg (-5.7 to 10.1)}. Intraclass correlation coefficient for IH OP-IH PT was 1.18 (95% CI 1.37-1.09). Intradevice {0.95 (95% CI 0.94-0.97)} and interrater repeatability {0.91 (0.79-0.96)} were good. 37% of eyes had a synchronous peak on GAT and IH during the day DVT. Conclusion: Home tonometry by iCare HOME is easy, feasible, but due to limited agreement cannot substitute GAT DVT.
