Social Factors Associated with the Risk of Glaucoma Suspect Conversion to Glaucoma: Analysis of the Nationwide All of Us Program.

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.
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 examine social factors associated with the 5-year risk of glaucoma suspects (GS) converting to open-angle glaucoma (OAG).
designRetrospective cohort analysis. SUBJECTS: We screened for participants diagnosed with GS in the All of Us database. Cases that converted to OAG within 5 years of GS diagnosis (the "conversion group") were compared with control cases that did not convert.
methodsDemographic, socioeconomic and health-care utilization data of the cases were extracted and compared between the conversion group and the control group. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards modeling was used to identify potential factors associated with the risk of conversion.
main outcome measuresHazard ratios (HRs) of significant factors associated with the risk of conversion.
resultsA total of 5274 GS participants were identified, and 786 (15%) cases converted to OAG within 5-year follow-up. The 2 groups showed significant differences in age, race, gender, employment status, income/education level, history of intraocular surgery, and health-care utilization patterns. In the multivariable model, African American/Black race (HR : 1.70 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.44-2.00]), older age at GS diagnosis (1.17 [95% CI, 1.09-1.25]), male gender (1.30 [95% CI, 1.13-1.50], no history of recreational drug use (1.23 [1.07-1.42]), history of intraocular surgery (1.60 [95% CI, 1.02-1.53]), and having more reasons for delayed health-care access (2.27 [95% CI, 1.23-4.18]) were associated with a greater hazard of conversion, while being employed (0.71 [95% CI, 0.60-0.86]) was associated with a smaller hazard of conversion (P < 0.05 for all).
conclusionsSeveral social factors were associated with the conversion from GS to OAG, which may help to identify patients at higher risk of disease progression. Future studies are needed to examine the basis for these findings and the potential interventions that could address them.
