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

Little is known about the change of macular and peripapillary vessel density comparing to macular ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (mGCIPL) thickness or peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) thickness in high myopic glaucoma in the longitudinal follow-up. A total of 62 glaucoma patients with high myopia (71 eyes) were analyzed over an average follow-up of 2.88 years, with at least four optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) imaging sessions. Among the participants, 47 eyes exhibited stable visual fields, while 24 eyes showed progression. We compared the longitudinal changes between the macular/peripapillary vessel density (VD) and the mGCIPL/pRNFL thickness in the two groups. Our results indicated a significantly greater decline in the macular and peripapillary VD in the progressive group compared to the stable group. (all p < 0.05) However, there were no significant differences in the rate of changes of mGCIPL thickness or the pRNFL thickness between the two groups. Overall, this study demonstrates that VD decreases are detectable over time in the highly myopic glaucoma patients. OCTA could be considered in the imaging algorithm in the follow up of glaucoma progression in the highly myopic patients.
