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

Aim: To highlight potential benefits of using Reichert's ocular response analyzer (ORA) for intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement following glaucoma filtering surgery (GFS), especially in cases of low IOP. Background: Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) is widely regarded as the gold standard of IOP measurement in clinical practice. The ORA also calculates corneal biomechanics, which is used in the calculation of the cornea-compensated IOP (IOPcc). Case description: A 78-year-old lady underwent right trabeculectomy with mitomycin C. During the first 9 months postoperatively, IOP's when measured with GAT, were found to be low (ranging between 2 mm Hg and 5 mm Hg). The patient displayed no clinical features of hypotony and visual acuity remained stable throughout. IOP was also measured with Reichert's ORA, which gives readings for corneal hysteresis (CH), corneal resistance factor and corneal corrected IOP. IOPcc measurements obtained with ORA were consistently higher, ranging from 6.7 mm Hg to 9.3 mm Hg and were more in keeping with the clinical features of the case. Conclusion: This case highlights the possibility that GAT can underestimate the true IOP in eyes with low IOP following GFS, as it does not account for corneal biomechanical properties. Clinical significance: Ocular response analyzer (ORA)-measured IOPcc may be a useful adjunct in reassuring surgeons to manage postoperative numerical hypotony conservatively in the absence of any clinical signs of hypotony.
