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

Preoperative treatment with steroids and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs increases the success of filtration surgery. Surgery with the patient under subconjunctival anesthesia is safe. Intraoperative application of mitomycin C is state of the art and enhances success rates. Perioperative use of bevacizumab seems to attenuate postoperative fibrosis. Postoperative hypotension is avoided by stable fixation of the scleral flap followed by stepwise controlled suturelysis or release. Transconjunctival flap suturing allows fast and simple treatment of overfiltration. The shorter the time lag between trabeculectomy and subsequent cataract surgery the higher the probability of bleb failure will be. The number of antiglaucomatous drugs and severity of glaucomatous damage before surgery correlate with the probability of failure and blindness.
