Diagnostic accuracy of Bruch's membrane opening minimum rim width for detecting glaucoma in Indian myopic eyes.
Article in Indian journal of ophthalmology, 2026. 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
purposeTo analyze Bruch's membrane opening minimum rim width (BMO-MRW) for detecting glaucoma in patients with myopia < -6D and assessment of peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (pRNFLT).
methodsOne eye was randomly selected from each of the 90 subjects (A-30 normal controls, B-30 with glaucoma suspect, and C-30 with primary open-angle glaucoma [POAG]). All patients underwent baseline ophthalmic evaluation. BMO- MRW and pRNFLT data were obtained using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (Spectralis, Heidelberg Engineering GmbH, Heidelberg, Germany). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUC) for global and sectoral thickness parameters was calculated.
resultsSectoral analysis of BMO-MRW for the discrimination of early glaucoma in all myopic subjects showed significantly better diagnostic performance than pRNFLT in temporal (0.85 (0.77 to 0.94) P = 0.014), temporal superior (TS) (0.90 (0.83 to 0.98) P = 0.005), and nasal inferior quadrants (0.92 (0.86 to 0.97) P = 0.022) with 95% CI. When discriminating early glaucoma from the suspect, overall the diagnostic performance of BMO-MRW was higher than that of pRNFLT, with significant differences in the temperosuperior quadrant (0.85 (0.74 to 0.95) 95% CI, P = 0.047).
conclusionBMO-MRW had better diagnostic performance than RNFL thickness and is a useful parameter for detecting glaucoma in myopic eyes (≤-6D) with POAG.
