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

purpose of reviewIntraocular pressure (IOP) elevation and glaucoma progression following corneal transplantation, specifically, penetrating keratoplasty, Descemet's stripping endothelial keratoplasty, and Boston keratoprosthesis, are well described causes of ocular morbidity. Depending on the procedure performed, the incidence of glaucoma is highly variable. Several etiologic factors have been identified, the most common being synechial angle closure and corticosteroid-induced IOP elevation. The purpose of this review is to describe the various treatment strategies for glaucoma following corneal transplantation. RECENT

findingsMedications and laser treatments are usually first-line therapies for postoperative IOP elevation. Surgical intervention, including filtering surgery and glaucoma drainage devices, may be necessary to control IOP and prevent progressive glaucomatous damage. SUMMARY: Glaucoma is a common complication of corneal transplantation, and the degree of aggressiveness is often related to the indication for corneal surgery. Although postoperative IOP elevation may be controlled with medical therapy alone, refractory cases may require glaucoma surgery. In all cases, early detection and intervention are necessary to optimize patient outcomes.
