Clinical effect of improved viscocanalostomy for the treatment of primary congenital glaucoma.
Article in International journal of ophthalmology, 2012. 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
aimTo evaluate the clinical effect of improved viscocanalostomy in patients with primary congenital glaucoma.
methodsRetrospective analysis of improved viscocanalostomy was performed on 51 eyes of 42 patients with primary congenital glaucoma. The outcome evaluation included postoperative intraocular pressure(IOP), corneal diameter, cup/disc ratio and complications. All patients were followed up at week 1, month 1, 3, 6 and 12.
resultsThe results revealed that postoperative IOP was decreased from (38.57±13.61)mmHg to (10.53±3.91)mmHg, (14.89±5.26)mmHg, (15.42±5.11)mmHg, (13.82±3.46)mmHg, (13.16±5.29)mmHg at follow-up time of 1 week, 1, 3, 6, 12 months (P<0.001). The postoperative corneal diameter was decreased significantly (P=0.002); The mean cup/dish ratio wasn't significantly different (P=0.148) before and after the surgery, the cup/dish ratio of successful surgery was evidently decreased (preoperative 0.7±0.2, postoperative 0.6±0.3, P=0.007), but the complications like as unformed anterior chamber were not observed. The mean follow-up period was 12 months.
conclusionImproved viscocanalostomy improves the clinical effects of the patients with primary congenital glaucoma, such as higher success rates, lower postoperative mean IOP and fewer complications.
