The medical and surgical treatment of glaucoma.
Review in Deutsches Arzteblatt international, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
backgroundOngoing demographic changes in Europe are heightening the importance of adequate treatment for glaucoma, a disorder that is markedly more common in the elderly.
methodA selective search for relevant literature, including Cochrane Reviews and the guidelines of the European Glaucoma Society, regarding the topical and surgical treatment of glaucoma.
resultsIt is recommended that the intraocular pressure (IOP) should be lowered by 20% to 50% from its baseline value, depending on the extent of already existing damage, the rate of progression, the baseline IOP, and the age of the patient. Topical monotherapy can lower the IOP by 15% to 30%. The success rate of filtration surgery has risen because of the intraoperative application of topical antimetabolites and currently ranges from 50% to 90%, depending on the study.
conclusionsThe goal of glaucoma treatment is to protect the patient from blindness and visual impairment while keeping the treatment-related decline in quality of life to a minimum. Any type of glaucoma treatment, be it medical or surgical, must further this aim in consideration of the situation of the individual patient.
