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 characterize longitudinal hemifield-specific changes in macular ganglion cell complex (GCC) thickness in eyes without baseline glaucomatous abnormalities and to evaluate whether arterial stiffness, assessed by brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV), is associated with the rate of GCC thinning.
methodsIn this retrospective longitudinal cohort study, 511 eyes without baseline glaucomatous abnormalities from participants in a health-checkup program were analyzed over a median follow-up of 4.75 years. Repeated macular optical coherence tomography measurements were evaluated using linear mixed-effects models. In the primary analysis, follow-up data from eyes that subsequently developed glaucoma-related events were censored at the date of first detection. Fixed effects included time, hemifield, baPWV, and their interactions, with adjustment for age, sex, axial length, baseline GCC thickness, and intraocular pressure.
resultsA total of 4,654 hemifield-specific observations were included in the primary analysis. GCC thinning differed significantly between hemifields, with faster thinning in the superior than in the inferior hemifield (time-by-hemifield interaction, P = 0.004). Higher baPWV was associated with faster GCC thinning after covariate adjustment (time-by-baPWV interaction, P < 0.001). The three-way interaction among time, hemifield, and baPWV was not significant (P = 0.847), and the hemifield-specific pattern remained broadly consistent across the observed baPWV range.
conclusionIn eyes without baseline glaucomatous abnormalities, longitudinal macular GCC thinning showed relative inferior preservation under a censored analytical framework. Higher baPWV was associated with faster overall GCC thinning, while the hemifield-specific pattern remained broadly consistent across the observed baPWV range.
