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

aimTo compare the macular ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) thickness, retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness, optic nerve head (ONH) parameters, and retinal vessel density (VD) measured by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and analyze the correlations between them in the early, moderate, severe primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) and normal eyes.

methodsTotally 70 PACG eyes and 20 normal eyes were recruited for this retrospective analysis. PACG eyes were further separated into early, moderate, or severe PACG eyes using the Enhanced Glaucoma Staging System (GSS2). The GCIPL thickness, RNFL thickness, ONH parameters, and retinal VD were measured by SD-OCT, differences among the groups and correlations within the same group were calculated.

resultsThe inferior and superotemporal sectors of the GCIPL thickness, rim area of ONH, average and inferior sector of the retinal VD were significantly reduced (all

conclusionThe ONH damage and retinal VD loss appears earlier than RNFL thickness loss in PACG eyes. As the PACG disease progressed from the early to the moderate stage, the correlations between the retinal VD and RNFL thickness increases.
