Performance of Optic Disc Optical Coherence Tomography Normative Database in a Large, Diverse, Real-World Cohort.
Article in Journal of glaucoma, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
PRÉCIS: Current optical coherence tomography normative sample data may not represent the diversity of human optic nerve anatomy needed to accurately classify all individuals with true glaucomatous optic neuropathy. PURPOSE: To compare optic nerve head (ONH) measurements between published values from an optical coherence tomography (OCT) normative database and a larger, more diverse cohort of healthy individuals. PATIENTS AND
methodsONH parameters from healthy participants of the Michigan Screening and Intervention for Glaucoma and Eye Health through Telemedicine (MI-SIGHT) program and the Topcon Maestro-1 normative cohort were compared. χ 2 tests compared MI-SIGHT retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) quadrant color-code labels with the expected distribution and multinomial logistic regression identified factors associated with label classifications.
resultsIn all, 1084 MI-SIGHT and 399 Topcon eyes were evaluated. The MI-SIGHT cohort was older (54 vs. 46 y), with more individuals identifying as black (61% vs. 20%), fewer as Hispanic (4% vs. 18%), and spherical equivalents closer to plano (-0.6 vs. -1.2 diopters) compared to the Topcon cohort (all P <0.001). Black/African American MI-SIGHT participants had larger cup-to-disc ratios and cup volumes, while white MI-SIGHT participants had smaller ONH values, except for rim area and rim volume, compared to Topcon participants (all P <0.001). The MI-SIGHT cohort's RNFL color codes did not follow the expected distribution ( P <0.05); more MI-SIGHT RNFL quadrant measurements were assigned as white (10.6% and 6.3% MI-SIGHT vs. 5% Topcon) and red codes (2.2% and 1.8% MI-SIGHT vs. <1% Topcon) than expected in the superior and inferior quadrants, respectively.
conclusionsOCT normative databases should accurately reflect diverse populations to avoid misclassification by RNFL thickness color codes. Larger data sets should be leveraged to encompass the full spectrum of healthy optic nerve anatomy.
