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

aimTo evaluate the mid-term effects of topical latanoprost 0.005% on vessel density (VD) of the bulbar conjunctiva using anterior segment optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).

methodsThirty-four eyes of 21 patients and 18 eyes of 9 healthy subjects were recruited as the treatment and control groups, respectively. The treatment group was instructed to apply generic latanoprost 0.005% once daily at night, while the control group received no medication. Anterior segment OCTA was performed on all eyes at baseline, 3wk, and 12wk after initiation of latanoprost. The superficial bulbar conjunctival VD was measured in the superior, inferior, temporal, and nasal quadrants. A linear mixed model was used to compare the change in the VD between groups.

resultsThe change in the VD was not different between groups in temporal, and nasal quadrants at 3-week and 12-week time points. The VD in the superior bulbar conjunctiva was significantly increased after 12wk (

conclusionThe trend of changes in the superior and inferior conjunctival VD is increased following topical latanoprost administration and these changes can be quantified using anterior segment OCTA.
