Visual field prediction using K-means clustering in patients with primary open angle glaucoma.

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
aimTo evaluate long-term visual field (VF) prediction using K-means clustering in patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG).
methodsPatients who underwent 24-2 VF tests ≥10 were included in this study. Using 52 total deviation values (TDVs) from the first 10 VF tests of the training dataset, VF points were clustered into several regions using the hierarchical ordered partitioning and collapsing hybrid (HOPACH) and K-means clustering. Based on the clustering results, a linear regression analysis was applied to each clustered region of the testing dataset to predict the TDVs of the 10
resultsThe training group consisted of 228 patients (mean age, 54.20±14.38y; 123 males and 105 females), and the testing group included 81 patients (mean age, 54.88±15.22y; 43 males and 38 females). All subjects were diagnosed with POAG. Fifty-two VF points were clustered into 11 and nine regions using HOPACH and K-means clustering, respectively. K-means clustering had a lower prediction error than PLR when
conclusionK-means clustering can predict long-term VF test results more accurately in patients with POAG with limited VF data.
