Relationship between filtering bleb vascularization and surgical outcomes after trabeculectomy: an optical coherence tomography angiography study.
Article in Graefe's archive for clinical and experimental ophthalmology = Albrecht von Graefes Archiv fur klinische und experimentelle Ophthalmologie, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 explore the relationship between the bleb vasculature and surgical outcome after trabeculectomy (TRAB) using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A).
methodsA prospective study was conducted, which included 26 eyes of 26 primary glaucoma patients in the final analysis. Thereinto, six patients underwent TRAB combined 5-FU and 12 patients received subconjunctival 5-FU injection postoperation. The bleb vessel was evaluated using OCT-A 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after TRAB. Intraocular pressure (IOP), filtering bleb height, and bleb wall thickness were recorded at the same time. Pearson's correlation analysis and linear regression analysis were performed to determine the correlation of the vessel area data with other parameters.
resultsCompared with vessel area 1 week after surgery, there was significant increase of the vessel area (△vessel area) 2 weeks (11.13 ± 11.91%, p < 0.05) and 1 month (16.91 ± 14.85%, p < 0.0001) after surgery in all patients. The △vessel area was significantly greater in acute angle closure (AAC) and primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) 1-month post-TRAB as compared with that 1 week (p < 0.05). The results indicated that the △vessel area 1-month post-TRAB was positive correlated with IOP 6-month post-TRAB (β = 3.88, p = 0.042).
conclusionsFiltering bleb vascularization evaluation using OCT-A could potentially predict IOP 6-month post-TRAB. Surgery effect predicted by filtering bleb vascularization detection is conducive to the select specific postoperative intervention to improve the success rate of TRAB.
