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: In this study, we aimed to compare blood flow changes in the optic nerve head (ONH) during horizontal ocular duction among normal, primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), and normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) eyes. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we included 90 eyes from 90 participants (30 control eyes, 30 POAG eyes, and 30 NTG eyes). ONH blood flow was measured with laser speckle flowgraphy using an external fixation light to induce central gaze, abduction, and adduction at 30 degrees for each eye. The mean blur rate (MBR) of the entire ONH area (MA), vascular region (MV), and tissue region (MT), and the change ratio were analyzed. The change ratio was defined as abduction or adduction value/central gaze value. Results: In the control group, MA significantly decreased during adduction (22.9 ± 3.7) compared with that during central gaze (23.6 ± 3.9, P < 0.05). In the POAG group, MA (adduction = 17.4 ± 3.8 and abduction = 17.3 ± 3.6) and MV (adduction = 37.9 ± 5.6 and abduction = 38.0 ± 5.6) significantly decreased during adduction and abduction compared with those during central gaze (18.0 ± 4.1 and 39.5 ± 6.3, respectively, P < 0.05). In the NTG group, MA significantly decreased during adduction (17.4 ± 4.2) compared with that during central gaze (18.1 ± 4.6) and abduction (18.1 ± 4.8, P < 0.05). The change ratio did not differ between the glaucoma and control groups. Conclusions: ONH blood flow decreased during horizontal ocular duction regardless of normal or glaucoma states; however, the change ratio was comparable between the normal and glaucoma groups.
