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

Significance: Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness, characterized by progressive optic nerve damage. Early detection of glaucoma is key to effective intervention, but an incomplete clinical understanding of the development of glaucoma complicates the selection of diagnostic criteria. Prolonged ocular hypertension due to glaucoma can impact the biomechanical properties of ocular tissues, including the cornea. We examine whether experimental glaucoma causes changes in the biomechanical properties of the cornea. Aim: We determined the biomechanical properties of the cornea in a nonhuman primate model of unilateral experimental glaucoma and compared them with the fellow, untreated control eyes using optical coherence elastography (OCE) to determine if prolonged intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation causes changes in corneal stiffness. Approach: Experimental glaucoma was induced in one eye ( Results: Our results show a significant ( Conclusions: These results show the potential of wave-based OCE methods for assessing stiffness changes in the cornea caused by remodeling due to chronic pressure elevation.
