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 describe the 1-year surgical outcomes of both Baerveldt glaucoma implant (BGI) and the Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) implant with pars plana tube insertion in Japanese eyes with neovascular glaucoma (NVG). PATIENTS AND

methodsThis was a retrospective study of 21 eyes of 18 patients who had undergone BGI (10 eyes) or AGV (11 eyes) implantation. The 1-year surgical outcomes in the two groups were compared. Surgical success was defined as an intraocular pressure (IOP) of 6-21 mmHg (criterion A) or 6-18 mmHg (criterion B) with >20% reduction regardless of the use of antiglaucoma medications.

resultsThe mean preoperative IOP was 33.9±6.6 mmHg in the BGI group and 30.9±5.3 mmHg in the AGV group (

conclusionsSignificant reductions of the IOP and number of glaucoma medications were achieved at 1 year after both types of implants in Japanese eyes with NVG.
