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

This study investigated the changes in optic nerve head (ONH) microvasculature, circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (cpRNFL) thickness, and visual field (VF) sensitivity following the absorption of optic disc hemorrhage (DH). Intradisc vessel density (dVD) was calculated using a 3 × 3 mm optic disc scan in 60 eyes of 60 patients with primary open angle glaucoma and DH who had undergone two or more swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography exams. Clinical parameters at the time of DH occurrence and after absorption, as well as those between the subgroups based on DH recurrence and location, were compared. Linear regression analysis was performed to identify factors associated with changes in cpRNFL thickness in the DH-affected quadrant. Mean dVD, cpRNFL thickness, and VF sensitivity significantly decreased after DH absorption (all P < 0.05). The reduction in dVD was more pronounced in eyes with recurrent DH compared to those with a single episode (P = 0.032). Eyes with DH occurring within or at the margin of the disc cup showed a greater dVD reduction than those with DH occurring outside the disc cup (P = 0.049). The reduction in cpRNFL thickness in the DH-affected quadrant correlated with dVD reduction in the same quadrant (β = 0.370, P = 0.013) and DH recurrence (β = -2.617, P = 0.033). This finding suggests that DH pathogenesis may be associated with changes in optic disc vasculature, contributing to glaucomatous progression.
