Long-term surgical outcome of conventional trabeculotomy for childhood glaucoma.
Observational study in Japanese journal of ophthalmology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
purposeTo investigate the long-term surgical outcomes of conventional trabeculotomy in eyes with childhood glaucoma in a Japanese population.
methodsIn this retrospective observational study, we enrolled Japanese patients with childhood glaucoma who underwent a conventional trabeculotomy at least once before age 3 years from 1986 to 2014 in our hospital.
resultsOne hundred seven eyes of 64 patients (24 girls, 40 boys; mean age, 2.8 ± 5.1 months) were included. Sixty-eight (64%) eyes had primary childhood glaucoma (PCG) and 39 (36%) eyes had secondary childhood glaucoma (SCG). The average numbers of surgical operations performed to treat the two glaucoma types that resulted in significantly (p < 0.001) different surgical success rates were 1.4 ± 0.7 and 2.1 ± 0.8. Statistical analysis showed that eyes with PCG, compared with those with SCG, were successfully treated by one trabeculotomy and up to three trabeculotomies (hazard ratios 6.66 and 4.02, respectively). Age, gender, systemic complications, corneal diameter, corneal edema, and preoperative intraocular pressure did not significantly affect the surgical outcomes.
conclusionsMost eyes with PCG are treatable with a maximum of three trabeculotomies. However, SCG usually is refractory to trabeculotomy, and a more promising surgery must be designed.
