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 report the effectiveness of Goniosynechialysis (GSL) treating elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in an aphakic eye with peripheral anterior synechiae (PAS) formation after vitrectomy. OBSERVATIONS: A 39-year-old gentleman with history of lamellar keratoplasty for corneal ectasia and blunt trauma to the right eye necessitating vitrectomy and lensectomy presented to our glaucoma unit with a secondary angle closure and an IOP of 50 mmHg. This was successfully treated with GSL and one year after surgery, the patient maintains a normal IOP without the use of medication. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE: GSL may successfully restore angle integrity in aphakic patients following vitreoretinal surgery and avoid the need for a glaucoma drainage device.
