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

Background: Recognizing the risk factors and understanding the mechanisms underlying steroid-induced ocular hypertension (SIOH) are vital to prevent potent vision loss and ensure the safety and effectiveness of dexamethasone (DEX) injections. The study aimed to develop a novel nomogram for predicting the risk of SIOH and determining safety zones for steroid injections. Methods: This single-center, retrospective, case-control study included a total of 154 eyes with available measured axial length that had undergone AS-OCT and DEX implantation at the Yonsei University Health System. The eyes were categorized into the SIOH (n = 39) and post-steroid normal IOP (n = 115) groups. We measured intraocular pressure (IOP) for all eyes prior to DEX implantation, at 1 week post-implantation, and at 1, 2, 3, 6, and 12 months thereafter. We used AS-OCT to analyze the trabecular meshwork (TM) height and ocular parameters. Results: The predictive nomogram, including TM height, yielded an AUC of 0.807 (95 % confidence interval [CI], 0.737-0.877) and demonstrated significantly higher predictive accuracy than that of previous nomograms, which did not consider TM height and had an AUC of 0.644 (95 % CI, 0.543-0.745) ( Conclusion: Our improved nomogram incorporating TM height as a newly identified risk factor, established a safety threshold for intravitreal DEX implantation, helping identify safe individuals from those who require caution.
