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 relationship between increased intraocular pressure (IOP) and the structure of the post-trabecular aqueous outflow tract of dogs.

methodsEx vivo aqueous angiography (AA) and anterior segment optical coherence tomography (OCT) were performed concurrently in 19 normal canine eyes, following cannulation and intracameral infusion of 2.5% fluorescein and/or indocyanine green (ICG) after maintaining eyes at physiologic IOP (10-25 mmHg) for 30 min and/or elevated IOP (55-68 mmHg) for 30 or 120 min. Scleral lumen heights (SLH) of vascular profiles in OCT scans were measured by Image J, and values analyzed in linear regression models. In a subset of 10 eyes, each quadrant was subjectively characterized as being either a high-flow or low-flow region based on angiographic signal intensity at 2 or 10 min post-tracer infusion.

resultsSegmental AA outflow signal correlated with lumens seen on OCT scleral line scans in healthy canine eyes at physiologic IOP. These lumens were also observed at elevated IOP but appeared collapsed in profile. After both 30 and 120 min of IOP elevation, SLH was significantly reduced (p < 0.0001). Large vessels tended to collapse more than small vessels after IOP elevation.

conclusionAcute IOP elevation resulted in a significant reduction in SLH in healthy canine eyes, and the number of AA determined high flow regions was reduced. Future studies to understand the nature and timing of this pressure-dependent change in the post-trabecular outflow pathway in glaucomatous eyes, including its potential reversibility, will be crucial in developing novel diagnostic tools and treatments for canine glaucoma.
