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

purposeTo explore the clinical value of intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements obtained by owners in dogs predisposed to primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG). MATERIALS AND

methodsOwners of 14 dogs with eyes predisposed to developing PACG obtained IOP measurements with a TonoVet Plus from the time of diagnosis of PACG until they developed clinical PACG or were lost to follow up.

resultsOwners measured IOP values in 14 dogs. In nine dogs, IOP was measured until they developed overt glaucoma with marked IOP elevations. Four dogs were lost to follow-up, and IOP continues to be monitored in one dog. In seven of the nine dogs that developed overt glaucoma, onset of glaucoma was associated with a sudden rise in IOP > 50 mmHg that was not preceded by an obvious gradual rise in average IOP readings or prior smaller rises in IOP. Dogs that were treated with latanoprost following the onset of overt glaucoma continued to have sporadic rises in IOP.

conclusionOwner obtained, at home IOP measurements can provide information that may be useful in the management of canine PACG.
