Diagnosis of Acute Glaucoma Attack Using a Quantitative Pupillometer: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Acute glaucoma attacks cause a sudden increase in intraocular pressure. In addition to ocular symptoms such as redness, visual impairment, and eye pain, it also presents with headache and vomiting. It is diagnosed using a slit lamp microscope, gonioscope, and anterior segment optical coherence tomography. A 72-year-old man visited the emergency room complaining of repeated vomiting and a throbbing headache in the right temporal region. Conjunctival congestion of the right was observed. However, this was not considered important at the initial examination stage because he had been diagnosed with a dry eye at a local ophthalmology clinic. No intracranial bleeding was found on a head CT scan. Glaucoma was suspected and diagnosed based on the difference between the left and right neurological pupil index (NPi) and miosis rate (CH) measured by quantitative pupillometry. Quantitative pupillometry is a simple examination method not dependent on the examiner's skill. If a difference between the left and right NPi and CH measured by quantitative pupillometry is observed in patients with headaches, it can help diagnose acute glaucoma attacks.
