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

purposeTo investigate variations in central corneal thickness (CCT), corneal aberrations, and anterior chamber depth througout the follicular and luteal phases of the menstrual cycle in reproductive-age women with regular menstruation using corneal topography and changes in Schlemm's canal (SC) diameter and area using the anterior segment (AS) module of enchanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT).

methodsCorneal topography and AS-EDI-OCT of 69 volunteers included in this prospective study were performed between days 1-5 of the cycle for the follicular phase and between days 25-35 for the luteal phase. SC diameter and area calculations were calculated using the ImageJ software.

resultsDuring the luteal phase, there was a significant increase in CCT and SC diameter and trefoil 0° aberrations compared with the follicular phase. Additionally, a significant positive correlation was obtained between intraocular pressure and SC diameter, and a significant negative correlation between CCT and SC diameter and area.

conclusionsChanges in corneal and anterior chamber angle were observed due to hormonal changes in the menstrual cycle. This is the first study to investigate the changes in SC diameter and area and corneal aberrations during the menstrual cycle.
