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

purposeTo analyze longitudinal iridial changes using swept-source anterior segment optical coherence tomography (SS-AS-OCT) in patients with Posner-Schlossman syndrome (PSS) and Fuchs' uveitis syndrome (FUS).

methodsThis prospective, comparative, longitudinal, single-center study included FUS and PSS patients who underwent both aqueous humor viral analysis and bilateral SS-AS-OCT iris imaging, performed at least twice and spaced a minimum of 9 months apart: initial OCT (i-OCT) vs final OCT (f-OCT). Stromal thickness (ST), smooth index (SI), and optical density (OD) were quantified and analyzed. Longitudinal and inter-group comparisons were analyzed, considering clinical and demographic factors.

resultsA total of 119 eyes from 60 patients were included: 31 PSS eyes, 32 FUS eyes, and 56 healthy contralateral eyes. The average time between i-OCT and f-OCT was 3.2 ± 1.5 years. In PSS eyes, ST decreased in superior and temporal quadrants, while SI increased in nasal and temporal quadrants. In FUS, ST declined in all quadrants except nasal one, with SI rising in both nasal and temporal quadrants. Viral etiology -Cytomegalovirus (CMV) in PSS, Rubella Virus (RV) in FUS- was linked to greater iris alterations. In healthy eyes, ST remained stable, but SI increased in both temporal and nasal quadrants. No changes were detected in OD in FUS and PSS over time.

conclusionsQuantitative OCT biomarkers revealed progressive iris stromal thinning and flattening in FUS and PSS. RV in FUS was associated with greater biomarker progression, while CMV in PSS correlated with increased stromal thinning. In healthy eyes, iris thickness remained stable, but gradual flattening was observed, possibly due to age-related changes.
