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

Surgical intervention is mandatory in the case of documentation of the progression of glaucomatous optic neuropathy despite the administration of maximal tolerated medical therapy, and in cases where compliance is poor. Minimal complications, good long-term intraocular pressure (IOP) control, and precisely titrated target IOPs resulting in avoidance of visual impairment are the primary goals of surgical intervention. This article is an attempt to provide a broad overview of the therapeutic options available to the glaucoma surgeon. The available surgical modalities have undergone modifications and refinements over time, with a view to improve patient outcomes and visual recovery, yet are fraught with intra- and postoperative complications. The risk and benefits of each of the available surgical options must be critically evaluated and customized to fit the needs of the particular patient. There is insufficient evidence at present to establish the superiority of any of these surgeries over the other.
