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

backgroundGlaucoma due to elevated episcleral venous pressure is a rare and difficult to treat form of secondary open angle glaucoma.

objectiveThe pathophysiology, clinical findings, differential diagnosis and treatment options are discussed. Radius-Maumenee syndrome, Sturge-Weber syndrome and carotid-cavernous sinus fistulas are covered in particular. MATERIAL AND

methodsA literature search was conducted in the PubMed database.

resultsIn the course of the diagnostics potentially severe diseases, such as carotid-cavernous sinus fistulas have to be ruled out. Treatment is based on the therapy of the underlying disease. Anti-glaucomatous medicinal treatment is often insufficient. In the case of surgery the increased risk for severe complications has to be taken into account. A variety of different surgical approaches have been reported in a number of small case series.

conclusionGlaucoma due to elevated episcleral venous pressure can be idiopathic or secondary to another underlying disease. Although rare it should always be considered in the differential diagnosis. Treatment is challenging because of an increased risk for severe complications.
