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

The aim of this study is to determine the optimal functional size of laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) for anterior chamber parameter improvement in primary angle-closure disease (PACD). This study evaluated 109 eyes from 62 consecutive phakic patients. Baseline and one-week post-LPI anterior segment OCT were utilized to measure anterior chamber volume (ACV), anterior chamber angle (ACA), and iridotomy dimensions. Data was analyzed using linear mixed-effects models (LMMs), generalized additive models (GAMs), and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Post-LPI, significant increases occurred in ACA 500 (+7.54°), ACV (+11.09 mm
