Comparison of the long-term outcomes of resident versus attending performed trabeculectomy.
Article in Journal of current ophthalmology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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 compare the long-term outcomes obtained by residents and attending surgeons performing trabeculectomy.
methodsAfter reviewing medical records of the patients, 41 residents performing trabeculectomy under supervision of attendings were compared to 41 attendings performing trabeculectomy. The primary outcome measure was the surgical success defined in terms of intraocular pressure (IOP) ≤ 21 mmHg (criterion A) and IOP ≤ 16 mmHg (criterion B), with at least 20% reduction in IOP, either with no medication (complete success) or with no more than 2 medications (qualified success). IOP, number of glaucoma medications, surgical complications, and visual acuity were analyzed as secondary outcome measures.
resultsMean age of the patients was 59.5 ± 8.6 years in the resident group and 59.6 ± 12.31 years in the attending group (
conclusionThere were comparable results with respect to success rates and complications between residents and attending surgeons performing trabeculectomy in the long-term follow-up.
