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 the concordance between angle-closure assessments based on GS-1 gonioscope images and those obtained with anterior-segment optical coherence tomography. STUDY

designRetrospective clinical study.

methodsWe included 33 patients (53 eyes) who visited Chukyo Eye Clinic during 2020-2024, were suspected of having angle closure, and underwent anterior-segment optical coherence tomography (CASIA2 Advance STAR Analyzer) and GS-1 examinations. The 16-directional images captured with the GS-1 were divided into two halves, creating 32 directions, which were rearranged to correspond with those obtained via anterior-segment optical coherence tomography. Agreement between evaluations was analyzed using Cohen's κ, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was evaluated. Anterior-segment optical coherence tomography images were manually corrected, and eyes with areas classified as "narrow" or "closed" were categorized as angle closure. With the GS-1, two glaucoma specialists independently reviewed the images. Areas in which the posterior trabecular meshwork was obscured in more than half of the image (Scheie classification grades III-IV) were judged indicative of angle closure.

resultsWe included 1,660 directions from 53 eyes in the agreement analysis. The proportion of directions judged as angle closure was 57.0% with anterior-segment optical coherence tomography and 46.1% with the GS-1. Cohen's κ for inter-test agreement was 0.173 (95% confidence interval: 0.128-0.218), and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.588 (95% confidence interval: 0.561-0.615).

conclusionAnalyses using anterior-segment optical coherence tomography yielded more frequent classifications of angle closure than evaluations based on GS-1 gonioscopic images.
