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

Purpose: We combined a clinical grading scale and swept source anterior segment OCT to describe the successful and failed CLASS. Material and Methods: 23 patients in the successful group and 17 patients in the failed group were compared in terms of the IBAGS grades and AS-OCT findings at one, three, and twelve months postoperatively. Results: The majority in the successful group presented shallow blebs (91%, 57%, and 52% at 1M, 3M, and 12M, resp.). 59% of the failed group presented no bleb (H0 E0) from the early postoperative period with the rate increasing to 88% at 3M and 100% at 12M. The scleral lake was detected in all the successful patients. The successful group showed significantly higher rates of TDM integrity ( Conclusions: The subconjunctival bleb may be a sign of the successful CLASS when it matches the AS-OCT findings of TDM integrity, maintained scleral lake, and intrascleral fluid. A validated OCT pixel intensity measurement is required to evaluate the bleb reflectivity.
