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: To investigate the agreement between the Goldmann tonometer (GAT), the air-puff tonometer, and the iCare tonometer in intraocular pressure (IOP) evaluation as well as their association with central corneal thickness (CCT) in normal participants, glaucoma patients, and patients following refractive surgery. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted on 204 eyes from 102 patients. The study consisted of three equal groups: group I (control group, Results: A total of 102 participants were included in the study with both genders distributed equally. The mean ± standard deviation age was 44.12 ± 12.8 years in the control group while it was 46.29 ± 13.24 years in the glaucoma group and 40.68 ± 15.86 years in the refractive surgery group. Overall, there was a high correlation between the three methods. The mean IOP measured by GAT was 14.03 ± 3.43. The mean IOP measured by iCare was 15.16 ± 3.46. The mean IOP measured by air-puff was 16.66 ± 3.6. The iCare showed the most significant agreement with the GAT (intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC] 0.985, Conclusions: In conclusion, the iCare tonometer, specifically the iCare PRO RT model, is a reliable and efficient alternative instrument for assessing IOP. The IOP values obtained with the iCare PRO RT were found to be consistent with those obtained using the air-puff and GAT.
