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

Aim and background: To assess the efficacy of 2% dorzolamide/0.5% timolol/0.2% brimonidine tartrate fixed combination (DTB-FC) eye drops in patients with intermediate glaucoma stage. Materials and methods: A retrospective case series study was performed, including eyes diagnosed with primary open-angle (POAG) or chronic angle-closure glaucoma (CACG), which were at intermediate stage of the illness according to the Brusini grading system and were initially treated with 2% dorzolamide/0.5% timolol fixed combination (DT-FC), and switched at baseline to DTB-FC. Main outcome was intraocular pressure (IOP) baseline measured, as well as at weeks 1 and 2, months 1, 3, and 6, and 1 year after switching. IOP differences were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) repeated measures. Results: A total of 36 eyes from 22 patients were included in the study. The median age of the participants was 61 years [interquartile range (IQR) 53-71], with 59.1% ( Conclusion: Therapy switching from DT-FC to DTB-FC was shown to be effective in reducing IOP of eyes with POAG or CACG during 6-12 months. Clinical significance: The DTB-FC therapy improved the therapeutic management of POAG or CACG previously treated with DT-FC therapy, which may be relevant to prevent its progression in the future.
