Outcomes of Ahmed glaucoma valve implantation for steroid-induced elevated intraocular pressure in patients with retinitis pigmentosa.
Article in International ophthalmology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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 evaluate the outcomes of Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) in the management of elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) secondary to steroid use for macular edema in patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP).
methodsA total of nine eyes of five patients were evaluated retrospectively. Complete success was defined as IOP ≤ 21 mmHg without glaucoma medications, while qualified success was defined as IOP ≤ 21 mmHg with glaucoma medications.
resultsMean age at surgery was 25.0 ± 8.3 years, and mean follow-up time was 38.4 ± 13.2 months. Mean IOP was 41.0 ± 8.3 mmHg preoperatively, 9.4 ± 3.5 mmHg at first week (p = 0.008), 13.1 ± 3.6 mmHg at first month (p = 0.008), 14.8 ± 4.1 mmHg at 6th month (p = 0.008), 11.7 ± 2.6 mmHg at 12th month (p = 0.008), 12.4 ± 2.9 mmHg at 24th month (p = 0.008), 12.6 ± 3.6 mmHg at 36th month (p = 0.043) and 12.8 ± 4.2 mmHg at 48th month (p = 0.068) postoperatively. The mean number of topical anti-glaucomatous medications decreased from 2.8 ± 0.4 preoperatively to 0.4 ± 0.9 postoperatively (p = 0.007). Complete success was obtained in 7 (77%) eyes, and qualified success in 2 (23%) eyes. No failure was detected.
conclusionsAGV implantation can be considered as an alternative and safe option in the management of resistant, elevated IOP secondary to steroid treatment for macular edema in patients with RP.
