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
purposeTo compare the sectoral inner macular layers thicknesses among eyes with pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PXS), pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (PXG), and healthy controls.
methodsThis cross-sectional study included 27 eyes from 14 patients with early pseudoexfoliation glaucoma, 39 eyes from 29 patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome, and 37 eyes from 19 healthy controls. All eyes underwent spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) of the macula using the Glaucoma Module Premium Edition of Spectralis SD-OCT (Heidelberg Engineering, Heidelberg, Germany). The sectoral thicknesses of the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), ganglion cell layer (GCL), and inner plexiform layer (INL) were measured. Differences in sectoral thicknesses of the RNFL, GCL, and IPL between groups were evaluated using generalized estimating equations. The diagnostic performance of single and composite macular layers in detecting PXG was assessed using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC).
resultsThere were no significant differences in age or sex between groups (p > 0.05). We observed significant differences in ganglion cell and inner plexiform layer thicknesses in sectors 2-5 between the groups (p < 0.05). Both PXG and PXS eyes showed significant sectoral thinning of the GCL and IPL compared to controls. The ganglion cell complex (GCC) provided the highest AUC for discriminating between PXG eyes, particularly in sector 4.
conclusionsEarly PXG preferentially affects the inner macular layers, particularly the IPL, with sectoral vulnerability. Composite macular layers, such as the GCC, demonstrated modest discriminatory ability and may have adjunctive value in the detection of early glaucoma.
