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

purposeTo clarify the abilities of circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (cpRNFLT) obtained by optical coherence tomography (OCT) and circumpapillary vessel density (cpVD) measured by OCT-angiography to distinguish different stages in primary open-angle glaucoma determined by 24-2 or 30-2 static visual field (VF) testing.

methodsThis retrospective study includes 25 healthy normal eyes of 25 subjects and 87 primary open-angle glaucoma eyes of 87 patients. Areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUROC) were evaluated for determining glaucoma stages using cpRNFLT and cpVD. The absolute errors of the estimated mean total deviation (mTD) using optimal models with cpRNFLT and cpVD were also compared.

resultsThe AUROCs for discriminating glaucomatous eyes from normal eyes was significantly higher for cpRNFLT than the respective AUROCs for cpVD (0.969 [95% CI 0.939 to 0.998] vs. 0.872 [95% CI 0.806 to 0.938], p = 0.006), whereas cpVD had significantly higher AUROC for discriminating severe glaucoma eyes from moderate glaucoma eyes than cpRNFLT (0.771 [95% CI 0.655 to 0.886] vs. 0.578 [95% CI 0.420 to 0.736], p = 0.022). The mean absolute error in estimating mTD using both cpRNFLT and cpVD was significantly less than the error using cpRNFLT alone (4.56 ± 3.76 dB vs. 5.39 ± 4.00 dB, p = 0.027).

conclusionOur results suggest that cpVD is better for follow-ups after moderate stage. The combination of cpRNFLT and cpVD may improve VF estimation compared to cpRNFLT alone.
