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

introductionUnderstanding the 24-h efficacy and safety of a novel therapy option, sepetaprost ophthalmic solution 0.002% vs. latanoprost ophthalmic solution 0.005%, may delineate its future position in glaucoma treatment.

methodsIn this exploratory study (EudraCT 2020-004836-93), adults with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) or ocular hypertension (OHT) were randomized to sepetaprost or latanoprost for 3 months following a ≤ 35-day screening period. The primary endpoint was mean 24-h intraocular pressure (IOP) at month 3 with sepetaprost vs. latanoprost. Safety outcomes included rate of adverse events (AEs).

resultsOverall, 33 participants received treatment (sepetaprost, n = 17; latanoprost, n = 16). Mean 24-h IOP was numerically lower with sepetaprost vs. latanoprost at month 3 (- 0.88 mmHg; 95% confidence interval [CI] - 2.89, 1.14; not statistically significant at the 0.05 level [NS]). Mean change from baseline in IOP at month 3 ranged from - 5.63 to - 7.00 mmHg for sepetaprost and - 3.84 to - 6.66 mmHg for latanoprost. Lower nocturnal IOP was observed with sepetaprost vs. latanoprost at month 3 (- 1.61 mmHg difference; 95% CI - 4.05, 0.83; not statistically significant; however, the 90% CI was - 5.27, - 0.17 and therefore, nominal statistical significance was achieved at the 0.10 level). Mean difference between groups indicated similar, or numerically lower, IOP with sepetaprost at individual time points at week 6 and month 3. At 36 and 48 h following sepetaprost cessation, mean IOP was lower vs. baseline IOP at the same time points. AEs occurred in 13 (76.5%) vs. 11 (68.8%) participants treated with sepetaprost vs. latanoprost.

conclusionIn participants with POAG or OHT, mean 24-h IOP and nocturnal IOP at month 3 were consistently numerically lower with sepetaprost vs. latanoprost. Safety profiles were similar between groups.
