Relationship between long-term blood pressure fluctuations and visual field progression in primary open-angle glaucoma: a prospective cohort study.

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
backgroundThis study aimed to evaluate the association between long-term blood pressure (BP) variability (BPVR) and visual field (VF) progression in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).
methodsIn this prospective cohort study, linear mixed-effect models were used to assess the associations between BP metrics and VF progression rates. BPVR and intraocular pressure (IOP) variability during the follow-up period were calculated by dividing the respective standard deviation values by the mean values. Correlated non-fluctuating BP metrics (baseline, mean, maximum, and minimum BP) were combined using principal component analysis separately for systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP). The first principal component was included as a covariate. Interactions between covariates and time from baseline were modelled to evaluate their effects on VF progression rates.
resultsA total of 157 eyes of 157 patients with POAG (mean baseline age, 56.3 ± 13.6 years) were included. VF progression was observed in 71 eyes (45%). These eyes showed a significantly higher incidence of disc haemorrhage (DH) than eyes without VF progression (36.6% vs. 15.1%, P = 0.002). In Cox proportional-hazard analysis, the presence of DH (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.60, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.58-4.28, P < 0.001) and higher systolic BPVR (SBPVR; HR: 1.12, 95% CI 1.00 to 1.24, P = 0.040) were significant predictors of VF progression. Additionally, SBPVR was significantly associated with faster VF progression (coefficient: - 0.127 dB/year per 1% increase, 95% CI - 0.247 to - 0.008, P = 0.037), whereas IOP variability (P = 0.284) and diastolic BPVR (DBPVR; P = 0.859) were not significantly associated with the progression rates.
conclusionsLong-term BP variability, particularly SBPVR, may be an independent risk factor for accelerated VF progression in POAG. Monitoring BP variability may help identify patients at higher risk of disease progression.
