Evaluation of optical coherence tomography in patients with coronary artery disease and systemic hypertension.
Article in Oman journal of ophthalmology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundSystemic hypertension and coronary artery disease (CAD) cause widespread vascular and neurodegenerative changes, including in the retina. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) offers a noninvasive means to visualise these changes, serving as a potential marker of systemic vascular health. Retinal layers like the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (p-RNFL) and ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GC-IPL) are especially vulnerable to vascular damage, making them useful indicators of cardiovascular risk. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the p-RNFL and GC-IPL thickness among hypertensive individuals with and without CAD and healthy controls. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis prospective observational study included 140 participants divided into three groups: healthy controls (Group A,
resultsBoth p-RNFL and GC-IPL were significantly thinned in hypertensive subjects, especially those with CAD. Group A had the highest mean RNFL (114.11 ± 10.09 μm) and GC-IPL (85.07 ± 2.30 μm), whereas Group C showed the lowest (RNFL: 84.90 ± 11.81 μm; GC-IPL: 105.97 ± 11.72 μm). Differences were significant (
conclusionOCT can find early signs of retinal nerve damage related to high blood pressure and CAD, indicating it can be a helpful noninvasive method for checking and tracking heart health risks.
