Anterior segment, static and dynamic pupillography changes in patients using different types of alpha-1 blockers.
Article in Documenta ophthalmologica. Advances in ophthalmology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
aimTo investigate anterior segment and pupillary changes in patients with BPH (benign prostate hyperplasia) using different types of alpha-1 blockers. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe right eye of male patients using tamsulosin, siladosin, alfuzosin or doxazosin, and the right eye of male subjects in the control group were measured in the study. Anterior segment and pupillography measurements were performed using a Scheimpflug imaging technique of Sirius device. Central corneal thickness (CCT), corneal volume (CV), anterior chamber depth (ACD), anterior chamber angle (ACA), anterior chamber volume (ACV), scotopic, mesopic and photopic pupil sizes and dynamic pupil sizes at 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 s (s) were measured.
resultsThirty-three patients using tamsulosin, 32 patients using siladosin, 31 patients using alfuzosin and 30 patients using doxazosin were compared with 34 patients in a control group. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in age, CCT, CV, ACD, ACA, ACV, static pupillography under mesopic and photopic conditions. For three of the groups there was no statistically significant difference from the control group for either scotopic or dynamic pupillography, however pupil size was significantly smaller in the doxazosin group under both static and dynamic conditions.
conclusionThe alpha-1 blockers included in this study were those most commonly used in clinical practice. Our results showed that, as aspected, alpha-1 blockers do not change the anterior segment. Three of the groups showed no abnormal pupil behaviour, but the diameter was significantly smaller in the doxazosin group.
