A Case Demonstrating the Relationship Between Intraocular Pressure and Blood Pressure Through Personal Health Monitoring.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Glaucoma is increasingly recognized as a multifactorial disease influenced by both ocular and systemic factors. Among systemic parameters, blood pressure (BP) has been reported to affect intraocular pressure (IOP), although the relationship is complex and may vary among individuals. This report describes the case of a 51-year-old Japanese male physician without glaucoma who voluntarily performed self-monitoring of IOP, BP, and body weight (BW) over a 24-month period using home tonometry, a wearable sphygmomanometer, and a digital scale. A total of 1,243 right-eye and 1,240 left-eye IOP measurements, 1,210 BP recordings, and 629 BW records were collected. Time series analysis using an AutoRegressive Integrated Moving Average with eXogenous variables (ARIMAX) model, configured as SARIMAX(0,1,1), revealed that systolic BP (SBP) was significantly and positively associated with IOP (IOP changed by 0.27 mmHg for every 10 mmHg change in SBP), whereas diastolic BP (DBP) and BW showed no significant associations. Right- and left-eye IOP fluctuations occurred in phase, suggesting the influence of systemic or environmental factors beyond local ocular determinants. This case illustrates the potential utility of N = 1 analyses and personalized health monitoring in elucidating the role of systemic factors in IOP regulation and highlights future possibilities for incorporating continuous systemic and ocular measurements into individualized glaucoma management strategies.
