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 evaluate the association of carotid occlusive disease (COD) in glaucoma and glaucoma suspects.

methodsWe retrospectively (January 2012 to June 2022) reviewed medical records and carotid Doppler reports of 485 eyes from 279 patients of glaucoma suspects, primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), or normal tension glaucoma (NTG) with suspected vascular pathology or unexplained Humphrey visual field (HVF) progression. Carotid artery involvement was determined by the presence of significant stenosis as reported in carotid Doppler imaging.

resultsMean age of patients was 63 years (SD: 11.2), of whom 78.1% were males. Carotid artery involvement was seen in 7.4% POAG, 11.4% NTG, and 12% of those with unexplained HVF progression. In contrast, only 3% of individuals in the glaucoma suspect group had stenosis exceeding 10% (P > 0.05). There was a weak correlation between worsening visual field index (VFI) values and increasing stenosis (r = -0.22).

conclusionCOD was rare among glaucoma suspects but commoner among NTG and POAG eyes with unexplained progression and may have clinical relevance only in these subgroups.
