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

We investigated subjective symptoms during driving in 227 glaucoma patients at a driving assessment clinic. Patients underwent testing with the Humphrey Field Analyzer 24-2 (HFA 24-2) and a driving simulator (DS) with eye tracking. Patients reported whether they experienced symptoms during daily driving, such as fear or difficulty seeing under certain conditions. The integrated visual field (IVF) was calculated from HFA 24-2 data. The number of collisions in DS scenarios and eye movements during DS testing was recorded, and factors related to the presence of subjective symptom during driving were analyzed using multivariate logistic regression, with subjective symptoms as the dependent variable. Overall, 145 patients (63.9%) did not report subjective symptoms during driving. Rates of these symptoms were 22.9%, 36.6%, and 41.7% for mild, moderate, and severe glaucoma, respectively (P = 0.030). Patients with symptoms had worse better-eye mean deviation (MD) (P = 0.012) and lower IVF sensitivity in the superior hemifield (P < 0.002). Logistic regression revealed a significant association between symptoms and decreased superior IVF sensitivity from 0° to 12° (P = 0.0029; OR: 1.07). Our study highlights that many glaucoma patients, even with severe disease, may not be aware of visual symptoms during driving, though superior IVF mean sensitivity contributed to subjective symptoms during driving.
