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

Innovative applications of clinical ocular diagnostic tools are emerging to help identify systemic disorders that extend beyond ocular diseases. Ophthalmodynamometry (ODM) is a screening tool that non-invasively determines mean central retinal artery pressure (MCRAP) and ocular perfusion pressure (OPP). Decreased OPP and MCRAP on Falck Medical Multifunctional Device (FMD, Falck Medical, Inc., Mystic, CT), along with reverse ophthalmic artery flow (ROAF) on transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (TCD), indicate increased collateral brain perfusion and possible stenosis of the ophthalmic artery or internal carotid artery (ICA). In this case report, we describe the case of a 78-year-old female with ROAF, reduced MCRAP, and OPP in the right eye, confirmed by carotid duplex of 50-79% right ICA stenosis. Early application of ODM and TCD allowed for prompt diagnosis and management with a vascular specialist.
