Refining Glaucoma Management: Korean Population-Specific Findings from Visual Field and Optical Coherence Tomography Testing.
Article in Biomedicines, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesThis study aimed to serve as a reference for establishing glaucoma evaluation standards for the Korean by analyzing the results of visual field tests and optical coherence tomography (OCT). We also determined the correlation between these test results and patient demographics, such as age and sex, which is crucial for early glaucoma detection and management.
methodsThis study was conducted at a national hospital in Seoul and analyzed 1510 visual field tests and 1337 OCT tests. The patients underwent the Humphrey automated visual field test and OCT measurements. Glaucoma was classified into early, moderate, and advanced stages based on the mean deviation (MD) value. Statistical analyses were performed to assess the relationships between age, sex, and test results.
resultsThe visual field test results showed that the visual field index and MD values decreased as age increased for both males and females, with a more significant decrease observed in males. The OCT findings revealed gradual thinning of the ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) with increasing age, although, compared to males, thicker GCIPLs and RNFLs were maintained in females until their 60s.
conclusionThis study indicates that there may be an association between age and sex in glaucoma progression and provides valuable insights for establishing diagnostic and management modalities specifically for Korean patients. These findings support the use of both visual field testing and OCT in glaucoma diagnosis, emphasizing the importance of early detection and personalized treatment strategies for effective glaucoma management in Korea.
