Reduction of intraocular pressure and improvement of vision after cataract surgeries in angle closure glaucoma with concomitant cataract patients.
Article in International journal of clinical and experimental medicine, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveThis study is to compare the efficacy of three different cataract surgeries in eyes with angle closure glaucoma (ACG) with concomitant cataract.
methodsA retrospective comparative analysis of 106 ACG patients (112 eyes) with concomitant cataract was conducted between February, 2012 and February, 2014. Clinical outcomes of ACG patients with concomitant cataract underwent phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation (group A, n = 34, 36 eyes, angle closure < 180°); combined phacoemulsification, intraocular lens implantation, and goniosynechialysis (group B, n = 43, 45 eyes, angle closure, 180°~270°); and combined phacoemulsification, intraocular lens implantation, and trabeculectomy (group C, n = 29, 31 eyes, angle closure > 270°) were compared during a 6-month follow-up.
resultsThere were no statistical differences among the 3 groups in pre-operative or post-operative average visual acuity (VA), intraocular pressure (IOP), anterior chamber depth (ACD), and angle opening distance (AOD) (all P > 0.05). Post-operative VA, IOP, ACD, AOD and the degree of angle opening in the 3 groups were all improved as compared with pre-operative levels (all P < 0.05). No statistical difference was detected among the 3 groups in the incidence of complications (χ(2) = 0.376, P = 0.829).
conclusionPhacoemulsification alone, combined phacoemulsification/goniosynechialysis, and combined phacoemulsification/trabeculectomy provide safe, effective, predictable, and stable options of cataract surgery for treatment of ACG with concomitant cataract.
