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 evaluate stage-dependent differences in mean deviation (MD) recalculated from the 24plus(1-2) and 24plus(1) test locations and to identify the MD range at which divergence between the reduced and full location sets exceeds a prespecified operational threshold in glaucoma.

methodsThis retrospective, cross-sectional study included 394 eyes from 197 patients with glaucoma including preperimetric glaucoma (PPG). The 24plus(1) MD was recalculated from a subset of 36 test locations derived from the 24plus(1-2) grid. Glaucoma severity was classified as PPG, early, moderate, or advanced based on MD. Differences between the full and reduced location sets were assessed using cluster-adjusted Bland-Altman analysis and linear mixed-effects models. Mixed-effects logistic regression was applied to estimate the probability of exceeding a prespecified operational MD-difference threshold (|ΔMD|> 1 dB), with patient-level bootstrap confidence intervals.

resultsThe overall mean difference in recalculated MD was - 0.52 dB (95% limits of agreement: - 2.82 to 1.78 dB). The proportion of eyes with |ΔMD|> 1 dB was 1.9% in PPG, 17.8% in early glaucoma, 50.0% in moderate glaucoma, and 67.5% in advanced glaucoma. Worse MD was significantly associated with a higher probability of exceeding the prespecified operational MD-difference threshold (β = - 0.169; P < 0.001). MD values of - 5.4 dB (95% CI: - 7.0 to - 4.0) and - 11.9 dB (95% CI: - 14.1 to - 9.9) corresponded to 25% and 50% predicted probabilities of deviation, respectively.

conclusionIn this recalculation/subsampling analysis, 24plus(1)-derived MD was similar to 24plus(1-2)-derived MD in early glaucoma but diverged with advancing disease, particularly beyond approximately - 5 to - 6 dB, suggesting caution when interpreting 24plus(1)-derived MD in more advanced glaucoma.
