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

Purpose: To investigate the association between glaucoma and various mental health disorders and to examine whether there were indications of effect measure modification of this association in Black compared to Non-Black populations. Methods: The study included 65,140 individuals from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey database, with an in-depth focus on 15,016 patients suffering from glaucoma or specific mental health disorders. We included patients aged 18 and above diagnosed with glaucoma or specific mental health disorders based on International Classification of Diseases codes from 2017 to 2020. Results: Out of the 65,140 patients, 1492, 6359, 5756, 786, and 209 were diagnosed with glaucoma, anxiety, major depressive disorder (MDD), bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia, respectively. Of the 1492 glaucoma patients, 196 (13.2%) were diagnosed with anxiety, 183 (12.2%) with MDD, 20 (1.3%) with bipolar, and 15 (1%) with schizophrenia. The unadjusted OR (95% CI) was calculated for the association between glaucoma and anxiety (OR = 1.36 [1.17-1.58]) Conclusion: There was a statistically significant association between glaucoma and MDD, anxiety, and schizophrenia. However, for this association, there was no significant evidence of effect measure modifications in Black compared to Non-Black populations.
