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

purposeThis study identified areas where glaucomatous visual field (VF) defects most and least frequently occur in the combined 24–2 and 10–2 test locations.

methodsFive hundred three eyes of 503 glaucoma patients were included. All patients underwent both 24–2 (or 30–2) and 10–2 tests using the Humphrey Visual Field Analyzer. An abnormal test location was defined as a total deviation probability of < 5%. The combined dataset of 24–2 and 10–2 test locations was resampled using the bootstrap method. Test locations were classified into six grades based on the percentile ranks of abnormality frequency. Hierarchical cluster analysis was additionally performed to explore spatial patterns of abnormal test locations.

resultsThe mean age of the participants was 61.4 ± 12.7 years. The median mean deviation (MD) of the 24–2 (or 30–2) and 10–2 tests was -5.2 dB (interquartile range [IQR]: -11.7 to -2.1) and -4.0 dB (IQR: -11.2 to -1.5), respectively. Abnormal test locations were most frequently observed in the superior nasal area of the combined test grids. Conversely, the lowest frequency of glaucomatous damage was observed in the central inferior region adjacent to the physiological blind spot. Hierarchical cluster analysis identified 27 clusters, broadly divided into superior and inferior regions by the horizontal meridian.

conclusionSuperior nasal locations are important for detecting early glaucomatous VF changes, whereas central inferior locations adjacent to the physiological blind spot are useful for assessing residual visual function in advanced disease. Our results inform optimized selection of VF test locations by disease severity.
