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

The aim of this literature study is to investigate the specific visual field defects for each glaucoma subtype and evaluate their pattern of progression. A systematic search was performed in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines in Medline (via PubMed), Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library on January 23, 2024. The literature search identified 3332 records after deduplication. Sixty-nine articles were included after screening and assessment for eligibility. Specific visual field patterns for primary open-angle glaucoma, normal-tension glaucoma, primary angle-closure glaucoma, and juvenile open-angle glaucoma were summed up. Since the search results on visual field progression only covered primary open-angle glaucoma and normal-tension glaucoma, the further analysis was confined to these glaucoma subtypes. This systematic review summarizes the literature concerning visual field patterns in glaucoma for the ophthalmologist.
