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

purposeTo describe the ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) and B-scan ultrasonography findings and therapeutic approach for ciliochoroidal detachment secondary to acute primary angle-closure glaucoma (APACG) in four patients. We also reviewed the literature.

methodsCase report and systematic literature review.

resultsThe four patients were referred to our department for further management of APACG. The UBM and B-scan ultrasonography examinations were conducted 2 days after the beginning of medical treatment and demonstrated ciliochoroidal detachment in four eyes of the four patients. The patients all received intravenous infusion of corticosteroid therapy (10 mg dexamethasone once daily for 5-7 days). We reviewed the UBM findings, which confirmed that the ciliochoroidal detachment disappeared. The patients then underwent trabeculectomy combined with peripheral iridotomy surgery. The patients all ultimately recovered very well.

conclusionAPACG with ciliochoroidal detachment is rare and has hidden clinical manifestations, and the pathophysiological mechanism is not yet fully understood. Anti-glaucoma surgery may increase the detachment. UBM and B-scan ultrasounds are useful tools for ciliochoroidal detachment diagnosis in APACG patients before operative treatment.
