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 assess the diagnostic capability of pattern electroretinography (PERG) and varying circumpapillary optical coherence tomography (OCT) scan diameters in glaucoma suspects (GS). Methods: This is a prospective, cross-sectional study. Circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFLT) was measured using spectral domain OCT in 49 eyes from 26 patients (36 normal, 13 GS) in three circle diameters (3.5, 4.1, and 4.7 mm). PERG measurements (Magnitude [Mag], MagnitudeD [MagD], MagnitudeD/Magnitude [MagD/Mag] ratio) were used. Based on clinical examination, participants were classified as controls or GS. Independent Results: Independent Conclusion: Global, superior, and inferior RNFLT in 3.5 and 4.1 mm diameters, and MagD performed best in discriminating GS from controls, suggesting that a larger scan of 4.1 mm may be equally useful in glaucoma diagnosis as the conventional 3.5 mm diameter. We recommend using PERG with OCT of 3.5 or 4.1 mm diameters for glaucoma suspect diagnosis.
