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

Maldevelopment of Schlemm canal (SC) and trabecular meshwork (TM) is proposed in the pathogenesis of primary congenital glaucoma (PCG). This study aims to evaluate a semi-automated segmentation algorithm of SC and TM in pediatric patients scanned using overhead-mounted optical coherence tomography (OCT). Twenty-four children (33 eyes: 17 PCG, 16 normal), with mean age 1.3 ± 1.08 years, had anterior segment OCT imaging. Manual segmentation of SC and TM on individual B-scans represented the gold standard and was compared to semi-automated segmentation of the same structures. Intraclass correlation (ICC) compared the manual and semi-automated algorithm for several parameters: SC area (0.940), circularity (0.742), and aspect ratio (0.861); and TM thickness (0.807). Comparing eyes with PCG vs. normal, we found: (1) decreased SC area (4084 ± 4553µm
