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

Measurement of anterior chamber depth (ACD), an important marker for the screening of primary angle-closure glaucoma, requires biometry, which is not readily used. This study assessed the relationship between ACD and health check-up data findings from participants with good corrected visual acuity in Japan. Participants underwent ophthalmic, anthropometric, and hematological assessments. The mean ACD of all 3060 participants was 3.33 ± 0.34 mm [2.22-4.72 mm]. Multivariable linear regression analysis was performed to determine factors that were significantly correlated with ACD, and logistic regression analysis was performed to predict ACD < 2.70 mm. Multivariable linear regression analysis showed that age, sex, intraocular pressure, spherical equivalent refractive error (SER), height, and fasting blood sugar levels significantly correlated with ACD (P < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that age, sex, and SER were the best predictors of ACD < 2.70 mm. The area under receiving operator characteristic curves of 'age and SER' and 'age, SER, and sex' were 0.821 and 0.835, respectively, with no significant difference (P = 0.122). In conclusion, ACD correlates with several parameters, and age and SER may be particularly important for predicting ACD in participants undergoing health checkups.
