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

Diagnosing and monitoring glaucoma in high myopic (HM) eyes are becoming very important; however, it is challenging to diagnose this condition. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic ability of wide-field optical coherence tomography angiography (WF-OCTA) maps for the detection of glaucomatous damage in eyes with HM and to compare the diagnostic ability of WF-OCTA maps with that of conventional imaging approaches, including swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) wide-field maps. In this retrospective observational study, a total 62 HM-healthy eyes and 140 HM eyes with open-angle glaucoma were included. Patients underwent a comprehensive ocular examination, including SS-OCT wide-field and 12 × 12 WF-OCTA scans. The WF-OCTA map represents the peripapillary and macular superficial vascular density maps. Glaucoma specialists determined the presence of glaucomatous damage in HM eyes by reading the WF-OCTA map and comparing its sensitivity and specificity with those of conventional SS-OCT images. The sensitivity and specificity of 12 × 12 WF-OCTA scans for HM-glaucoma diagnosis were 87.28% and 86.94%, respectively, while, the sensitivity and specificity of SS-OCT wide-field maps for HM-glaucoma diagnosis were 87.49% and 80.51%, respectively. The specificity of the WF-OCTA map was significantly higher than that of the SS-OCT wide-field map (p < 0.05). The sensitivity of the WF-OCTA map was comparable with that of the SS-OCT wide-field map (p = 0.078). The WF-OCTA map showed good diagnostic ability for discriminating HM-glaucomatous eyes from HM-healthy eyes. As a complementary method to an alternative imaging modality, WF-OCTA mapping can be a useful tool for the detection of HM glaucoma.
