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

objectiveTo determine the correlation between axial length (AL), anterior chamber depth (ACD), and lens thickness (LT) with clinical severity in patients with acute angle-closure glaucoma (AACG) complicated with cataracts.

methodsThis retrospective study analyzed the clinical data of 247 consecutive patients (247 eyes) diagnosed with AACG complicated with cataracts. Ocular biomechanical parameters (AL, ACD, LT) were measured using IOL Master. Recorded clinical characteristics included peak intraocular pressure (IOP), best corrected visual acuity (BCVA, LogMAR), angle closure extent (quadrant number), and corneal edema grade. Statistical analysis was performed using Pearson correlation analysis and multiple linear regression.

resultsThe mean AL, ACD, and LT were 22.11±0.24 mm, 1.90±0.07 mm, and 5.08±0.17 mm, respectively. Pearson correlation analysis showed that ACD was strongly negatively correlated with peak IOP, BCVA (LogMAR), angle closure extent, and corneal edema grade (all P<0.001); LT was significantly positively correlated with all the above clinical indicators (all P<0.001); while AL showed a weaker negative correlation with the above indicators (all P<0.01). Multivariate regression identified ACD (β=-3.042, P<0.001) and LT (β=0.732, P<0.001) as independent predictors of peak IOP. Peak IOP, ACD, LT, and female gender were all independent influencing factors for BCVA (all P<0.05).

conclusionIn patients with AACG and cataract, shallow anterior chamber and thickened lens are important independent anatomical determinants of more severe clinical presentation. These findings support the use of ACD and LT as key biomarkers for risk assessment and individualized treatment planning.
