One-month IOP in mitomycin C-augmented trabeculectomy can predict long-term IOP control in chronic primary angle-closure glaucoma.

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 investigate the predictors of long-term intraocular pressure (IOP) in chronic primary angle-closure glaucoma (CPACG) treated with primary trabeculectomy.
methodsThis study systematically reviewed cases of CPACG treated with primary trabeculectomy. The scleral flaps in all cases were sutured with two stitches in situ and two releasable sutures to ensure watertight under normal IOP conditions during surgery. Mitomycin C was used in all eyes. All patients were followed for 2 years. Digital massage of the bulbus and removal of the releasable suture were performed according to the IOP and shape of the filtering bleb. Demographic data and clinical outcomes were recorded. Factors predicting long-term IOP were identified.
resultsA total of 72 patients (88 eyes) with a mean age of 58.51 ± 10.60 years were included in this study. The complete success rate was 89.77% after 2 years. The IOP began to stabilize after 7 days and reached its lowest point at the 1-month follow-up. The preoperative and early postoperative high or low IOP does not affect long-term effects (P > 0.05). There was a positive correlation between postoperative IOP at the 1-month and 2-year follow-ups (r = 0.64, P < 0.001).
conclusionIn CPACG patients undergoing primary trabeculectomy, scleral flaps sutured watertightly with two stitches in situ and two releasable sutures under normal IOP conditions can ensure controllable, effective and safe treatment of CPACG. The preoperative and early postoperative high or low IOP does not affect long-term effects. One-month postoperative IOP can be used as a predictor of long-term IOP control.
