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

A 65-year-old man with a history of bilateral trabeculectomy augmented with mitomycin C underwent surgery for a scleral rupture following trauma. The site of the rupture was a posterior extension of the scleral flap. Attempted closure of a ragged scleral wound was not possible without excessive distortion and induced astigmatism. Persistent hypotony due to over drainage was treated by patching the site with a donor pericardium graft, secured with 10-0 nylon sutures. Although the trabeculectomy became nonfunctional and further glaucoma surgery was eventually required, a good visual outcome was achieved due to early repair following trauma.
