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: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of globe and optic nerve (ON) morphologies and tissue stiffnesses on gaze-induced optic nerve head deformations using parametric finite element modeling and a design of experiment (DOE) approach. Methods: A custom software was developed to generate finite element models of the eye using 10 morphological parameters: dural radius, scleral, choroidal, retinal, pial and peripapillary border tissue thicknesses, prelaminar tissue depth, lamina cribrosa (LC) depth, ON radius, and ON tortuosity. A central composite face-centered design (1045 models) was used to predict the effects of each morphological factor and their interactions on LC strains induced by 13 degrees of adduction. Subsequently, a further DOE analysis (1045 models) was conducted to study the effects and potential interactions between the top five morphological parameters identified from the initial DOE study and five critical tissue stiffnesses. Results: In the DOE analysis of 10 morphological parameters, the 5 most significant factors were ON tortuosity, dural radius, ON radius, scleral thickness, and LC depth. Further DOE analysis incorporating biomechanical parameters highlighted the importance of dural and LC stiffness. A larger dural radius and stiffer dura increased LC strains but the other main factors had the opposite effects. Notably, the significant interactions were found between dural radius with dural stiffness, ON radius, and ON tortuosity. Conclusions: This study highlights the significant impact of morphological factors on LC deformations during eye movements, with key morphological effects being more pronounced than tissue stiffnesses.
