Trabeculectomy ab interno (trabectome): yet another possibility in the treatment of uncontrolled glaucomatocyclitic crisis under systemic valganciclovir therapy?
Article in Eye (London, England), 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeTo assess the outcome of trabectome surgery in the treatment of glaucomatocyclitic crisis (Posner-Schlossman syndrome) in patients with uncontrolled intraocular pressure (IOP). PATIENTS/
methodsTrabectome surgery was performed in seven patients with diagnosed glaucomatocyclitic crisis and uncontrolled IOP where cytomegalovirus DNA was verified by polymerase chain reaction in aqueous humour samples. All patients were treated with oral valganciclovir. After surgery the patients were followed-up for 12 months.
resultsMean IOP before trabectome surgery was 40±10 mm Hg (range 33-58 mm Hg). The mean number of antiglaucoma medication prior to surgery was 3.1±0.4. By the end of the 12 months, IOP in all patients was reduced to normal level (13±1 mm Hg) and their antiglaucoma medication was decreased to 0.8±1.1. No recurring attack of glaucomatocyclitic crisis occurred. DISCUSSION: In addition to oral valganciclovir therapy, trabectome surgery seems to be a reliable and effective tool for the management of glaucomatocyclitic crisis with uncontrolled IOP.
