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 evaluate iridocorneal angle (ICA) parameter measurements with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in children with Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and to compare them with those in healthy children.

methodsTwenty children with NF1 and 33 age- and sex-matched healthy controls were enroled. All subjects underwent ICA imaging with SD-OCT. Schlemm canal diameter (SCD), anterior chamber angle (ACA), angle opening distance (AOD500 and AOD750), trabecular-iris space area (TISA500 and TISA750) and scleral spur length (SSL) were examined in the temporal sections and measured with customized software. Also, iris thickness (IT) was measured as the distances between the anterior and posterior iris surface, at 1 mm (IT-1), 2 mm (IT-2) and 3 mm (IT-3) from the edge of the pupil.

resultsMean ACD was significantly narrower in NF1 group (p = 0.003). Mean levels of SCD (p < 0.001), ACA (p = 0.001), AOD500 (p = 0.001), AOD750 (p < 0.001), TISA500 (p < 0.001) and TISA750 (p < 0.001) were significantly lower in NF1 group. Mean SSL-1 (p = 0.19) and SSL-2 (p = 0.56) measurements were found to be similar between the groups. Mean IT-1 (p < 0.001), IT-2 (p < 0.001) and IT-3 (0.03) were observed to be significantly higher in NF1 group. There was significant correlation between ACD and IT. Also, ACD and IT showed significant associations with the ICA parameters.

conclusionThere was a significantly narrower ICA morphology in NF1 children. SCD was significantly decreased in children with NF1. A significantly thicker iris in NF1 children may offer a possible impact of iris morphology on narrower ICA parameters and SCD.
