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 determine the effect on intraocular pressure (IOP) of switching to a once-daily netarsudil/latanoprost fixed dose combination (FDC) from various topical treatment regimens including latanoprost monotherapy or latanoprost combined with other IOP-lowering agents for the treatment of open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Methods: A total of 136 participants enrolled. Eligible participants were aged ≥18 years and had a current diagnosis of open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Additional inclusion criteria were current treatment regimens with latanoprost monotherapy, latanoprost plus 1 additional IOP-lowering agent, or latanoprost plus 2 agents; current IOP-lowering regimen stable for ≥30 days prior to baseline visit; treated morning IOP ≥20 mmHg at baseline visit; and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 20/100 or better in both eyes. Regardless of their initial regimens, all participants stopped their IOP-lowering medication(s) and were switched directly to netarsudil/latanoprost FDC alone. Results: Participants experienced substantial reductions in IOP. At week 12, the mean percent change from baseline in IOP was -18.5% (SD 18.96) in the overall study population and was similar in the latanoprost monotherapy group (-21.2% [SD 17.46]), the latanoprost +1 agent group (-15.7% [SD 21.91]), and the latanoprost +2 agents group (-16.9% [SD 17.31]). Less than one-third of participants (31.6%) experienced any ocular adverse event or an ocular adverse event related to treatment (27.2%). The most common ocular adverse event was conjunctival hyperemia (18.4%). Most ocular adverse events were mild, and two severe ocular adverse events of hyperemia (1.5%) were reported; no serious ocular adverse events were reported. Conclusion: In this study, additional IOP lowering was achievable when patients switched to netarsudil/latanoprost FDC after treatment with latanoprost alone or latanoprost with 1 or 2 additional agents. The once-daily administration of netarsudil/latanoprost FDC and reduced treatment burden for those on latanoprost combined with additional agents may prove more manageable for patients.
