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

The time course of the changes in the optic nerve head (ONH) blood flow in response to changes in the ocular perfusion pressure (OPP) induced by an artificial elevation of the intraocular pressure (IOP) has not been determined. We measured the blood flow, represented by the mean blur rate (MBR), on the ONH determined by laser speckle flowgraphy. The MBR was determined before, during, and after the IOP was elevated by 20 or 30 mmHg by pressure applied on the eye by an ophthalmodynamometer in a total of 27 healthy eyes. For an IOP elevation of 20 mmHg, the percentage reduction in the MBR-vessel was -24.7%, and in the MBR-tissue was -16.0% (P < 0.001). For an IOP elevation of 30 mmHg, the percentage reduction of the MBR-vessel was -35.3% and the MBR-tissue was -24.7% (P < 0.001). During the 30 mmHg IOP elevation for 10 minutes, both the MBR-vessel and MBR-tissue began returning to the baseline level from 1 minute after the beginning of the IOP elevation (P < 0.01, P < 0.05, respectively) and continued returning during the 10 minutes IOP elevation (P < 0.001, P < 0.01, respectively). We conclude that the ONH can autoregulate its blood flow in response to experimental changes in OPP induced by IOP elevations.
