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

introductionThis study explored the structural and microvascular changes in the optic nerve head (ONH) of patients with intracranial hypertension (IH) by using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT)/OCT angiography (OCTA) and evaluated their association with clinical features.

methodsThe optic disc morphology, peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL), ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GCIPL), and microvascular densities of the nerve fiber layer plexus (NFLP), superficial vascular plexus (SVP), intermediate capillary plexus (ICP), and deep capillary plexus (DCP) were measured by the SS-OCT/OCTA tool. Frisen score, visual acuity, and intracranial pressure were assessed and recorded in patients with IH.

resultsSixty-one patients with IH and 65 controls were included in this study. Patients with IH showed thicker pRNFL and GCIPL thickness with larger ONH rim area when compared to controls (P < 0.001). Microvascular densities were increased in NFLP while densities were reduced in SVP, ICP, and DCP when compared to controls (P < 0.001). Structural thickness and microvascular densities were significantly correlated with Frisen scores (P < 0.05) and intracranial pressure (P < 0.05) in patients with IH.

conclusionStructural and microvasculature variations of the ONH were found in patients with IH compared to controls. Importantly, we showed that structural and microvascular changes in the ONH were correlated with their Frisen score and intracranial pressure in patients with IH.
