Influence of glaucoma surgery on the ocular surface using oculus keratograph.
Article in International ophthalmology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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 influence of trabeculectomy and phacotrabeculectomy on the ocular surface.
designRetrospective, case-control study.
methodsEighty-one samples without dry eyes were recruited and divided into three groups, including phacoemulsification group (N = 30) as control group, trabeculectomy group (N = 27) and phacotrabeculectomy group (N = 24) as study groups. Ocular surface parameters, including noninvasive keratograph first (NifBUT) and average (NiaBUT) tear film breakup time, tear meniscus height (TMH) and corneal fluorescein stain (CFS), were estimated preoperatively, at 3 days, 1 month and 3 months postoperatively using oculus keratograph.
resultsNo significant difference was observed in ocular surface parameters at baseline among three groups (p > 0.05). The magnitude of NifBUT and NiaBUT was reduced at 3 days and 1 month postoperatively in phacotrabeculectomy group, but greater than that in the other two groups (All p < 0.001). In all the groups, both the NifBUT and NiaBUT tended to recover at 1 and 3 months postoperatively, whereas both of them did not recover to baseline at 3 months postoperatively in trabeculectomy (NifBUT, p = 0.001; NiaBUT, p < 0.001) and phacotrabeculectomy group (NifBUT, p < 0.001; NiaBUT, p = 0.020). TMH was raised at 3 days postoperatively and restored to the baseline level at 1 and 3 months postoperatively for three groups (p > 0.05). CFS was elevated at 3 days postoperatively and different in recovery at 1 and 3 months postoperatively for three groups.
conclusionsThe influence of phacotrabeculectomy on ocular surface is worse than that of trabeculectomy for the short run and is not distinct different for a long time.
