Relationship of Choroidal Microvasculature Dropout and Beta Zone Parapapillary Area With Visual Field Changes in Glaucoma.
Observational study in American journal of ophthalmology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 association between rates of choroidal microvasculature dropout (MvD) change, beta zone parapapillary atrophy (β-PPA) area change, and visual field (VF) changes in eyes with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).
designRetrospective, observational cohort study.
methodsIn a tertiary glaucoma clinic, we included 76 eyes from 58 patients with POAG with and without localized MvD, who had ≥2 years of follow-up with a minimum of 4 visits with optical coherence tomography angiography and optical coherence tomography scans. β-PPA area was evaluated using scanning laser ophthalmoscopy-like images and compared with the area of MvD on an en face choroidal vessel density map during the follow-up period. Joint longitudinal mixed effects models were used to estimate the rates of change in β-PPA area or MvD area and VF mean deviation (MD).
resultsMean rates of change in β-PPA and MvD area were 0.037 mm
conclusionMvD area rates, but not β-PPA area rates, were associated with VF MD loss changes in eyes with POAG. Assessment of MvD is useful for the detection of patients with glaucoma who are at an increased risk of faster VF loss.
