Impact of Environmental Factors on Glaucoma Progression: A Systematic Review.
Review in Clinical ophthalmology (Auckland, N.Z.), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Background: Glaucoma, a leading cause of irreversible vision loss, is characterized by progressive degeneration of retinal ganglion cells. Intraocular pressure (IOP) remains a well-established risk factor, but recent research suggests environmental and lifestyle factors may also play a role. Objective: This review aimed to evaluate the current evidence on the impact of environmental factors on glaucoma progression. Methods: We conducted a systematic review following PRISMA guidelines, searching various databases for studies on environmental factors and glaucoma progression. Results: Our review identified several key findings. IOP remains the most crucial modifiable risk factor. Aerobic exercise and mindfulness practices may lower IOP and provide neuroprotection. Lifestyle modifications like smoking cessation and balanced diets were also emphasized. Studies suggest air pollution exposure, particularly PM2.5, may be associated with an increased risk of glaucoma. However, the studies were primarily observational, and more research is needed to establish causality and elucidate underlying mechanisms. Conclusion: This review highlights the multifaceted nature of glaucoma, emphasizing the interplay between established risk factors (IOP) and emerging environmental influences (air pollution). Environmental factors hold promise as potential targets for glaucoma prevention and management strategies. Future research should focus on well-designed studies to investigate causal relationships and biological mechanisms.
