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

Aim: This study assessed the correlation between corneal biomechanical properties measured with Corvis ST (CST) and retinal nerve fiber layer thickness profile, anterior lamina cribrosa surface depth, and other optic nerve head parameters in healthy Saudi females. Methods: This study included 62 eyes (only right eyes) of 62 healthy Saudi females aged from 20 to 39 yrs. A complete ophthalmologic assessment was performed for all participants. In addition, corneal biomechanical parameters were measured using CST, and optic nerve head parameters were evaluated using spectral domain optical coherence tomography. Results: This study demonstrated a significant weak positive correlation between circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (cpRNFL) peak angle and only second applanation (A2) length (mm) (r = 0.293, P = 0.021). Also, this study reported a significant moderate negative association between the C/D ratio and radius (r = -.513, P = 0.015). However, there was no significant correlation between corneal biomechanics and ALCSD in this study. Conclusion: This study reported a significant positive correlation between cpRNFL peak angle and A2-length. In addition, the current study documented a significant moderate negative association between C/D ratio and radius. However, there was no significant correlation between ALCSD and the corneal biomechanical properties in this study. Further research is needed to verify the impact of corneal biomechanics on optic nerve head parameters and further investigate its role in the pathophysiology of glaucoma.
