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: This study investigated the global and regional correlations between longitudinal structure-function (S-F) and vasculature-function (V-F) data using circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (cpRNFLT) measurements from optical coherence tomography (OCT), circumpapillary vessel density (cpVD) from OCT angiography (OCTA), and the corresponding visual field mean sensitivities at different glaucoma stages. Methods: A total of 107 eyes from 107 glaucoma patients with progressive visual field (VF) changes followed up for an average of 3.33 ± 1.39 years were enrolled, including early-to-moderate (51 eyes) and advanced (56 eyes) stages. The rates of longitudinal change in the VF mean deviation (MD), cpRNFLT, and cpVD were evaluated using linear mixed-effects models and compared between different glaucoma stages. Longitudinal global and regional S-F and V-F relationships were assessed by repeated measures correlation analysis by glaucoma stage. Results: No significant differences were found in the rates of VF MD and cpVD changes (P > 0.05) between the two glaucoma stage groups. CpRNFLT decreased more rapidly in the early-to-moderate stage group (P < 0.001) in which significant longitudinal global and regional correlations were found in both S-F and V-F relationships (all P < 0.05), except for the nasal sector. Significant global and regional correlations were only found in V-F relationship in advanced stage cases (all P < 0.05). Conclusions: Significant longitudinal V-F relationships exist globally and regionally regardless of glaucoma stage but no longitudinal S-F relationship is present in advanced glaucoma. Longitudinal follow-up of cpVD parameters may be useful for monitoring glaucomatous VF progression at all disease stages.
