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: The purpose of this study was to explore a quantitative grading system of the filtering bleb combined anterior segment optical coherence tomography angiography (AS-OCTA) vascular features and optical coherence tomography (OCT) morphological features. Methods: One hundred three eyes of 103 patients diagnosed with primary open-angle glaucoma and undergone trabeculectomy over 6 months were divided into success and failure groups according to postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) level. Vessel density (VD) and vessel diameter index (VDI) were examined by AS-OCTA. Bleb's morphology, including bleb height (BH), and microcyst-structure (MCS) were detected by AS-OCT. Multi-vascular model score (MVMS) was calculated by comprehensive factor analysis, and the comprehensive grading system (MVMS-MCS-BH) was analyzed by linear regression. The efficiency our method was verified by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. Results: The VD and VDI were higher in the failure group and closely related to post-trabeculectomy IOP (all P = 0.000). The MVMS was mostly consisted of VD in all regions, and VDIs of nasal, central, and temporal positions in sequence. MVMS ≥0, BH <1.33, and non-MCS were significantly associated with IOP increasing (coefficient = -3.23, -3.69, and 8.10, all P = 0.000). MVMS-BH-MCS got a higher area under curve (AUC), sensitivity, and specificity (0.92, 100%, and 80.30%) than the slit-lamp method (0.62, 72.20%, and 46.43%, respectively). Conclusions: The quantitative vascular characteristics detected by AS-OCTA were significant for the bleb monitor. The MVMS-BH-MCS grading system had achieved outstanding accuracy in reflecting the surgical results. Translational Relevance: The multi-vascular biomarker and comprehensive evaluation combined vascular and morphological parameters yield useful information on surgical outcomes, and help ophthalmologists to monitor patients effectively.
