Ex-PRESS implantation with phacoemulsification in POAG versus CPACG.
Article in International journal of ophthalmology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
aimTo compare the long-term outcomes of the Ex-PRESS miniature glaucoma device implanted under a scleral flap in combination of phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation in primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and chronic primary angle-closure glaucoma (CPACG).
methodsRetrospective, comparative study. A total of 60 eyes (60 patients) receiving the Ex-PRESS miniature glaucoma device implantation combined with phacoemulsification were reviewed. Thirty eyes (30 patients) had the combined procedures for POAG, and the other 30 eyes (30 patients) for CPACG.
resultsThe follow-up was 39.37±7.09mo (range 3 to 49mo) in patients with POAG and 37.10±9.26mo (range 9 to 49mo) in patients with CPACG (
conclusionThe long-term outcomes show the Ex-PRESS implantation combined with phacoemulcification can effectively lower the IOP in both the POAG and CPACG groups. The POAG group seems to have lower postoperative IOP and a higher risk of hypotony.
