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
introductionThe aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of trabeculectomy with suprachoroidal derivation in eyes with uncontrolled glaucoma after a 24-month follow-up period.
methodsThis was a prospective uncontrolled non-randomized case series. All patients scheduled for a trabeculectomy due to uncontrolled glaucoma at the "Instituto de Glaucoma y Catarata" (Lima, Peru) between 2011 and 2014 were included. Thee patients underwent trabeculectomy with mitomycin C and suprachoroidal derivation with two autologous scleral flaps. Postsurgical follow-up visits took place on day 1, and at 1, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure (IOP) and complications at each control were registered. Main outcome measures were IOP reduction, number of glaucoma medications and complication rate. Postoperative IOP of > 21 mmHg, < 5 mmHg, additional glaucoma surgery or severe complications were considered as indications of failure.
resultsThirty-three participants (41 eyes) were included in the study, of whom 27 (81.82%) (31 eyes [75.61%]) finished the 24 months of follow-up. At the end of the follow-up, mean IOP had decreased by 11.29 ± 9.32 mmHg (p < 0.001), and glaucoma medication usage in 25 (25/31; 80.65%) eyes had stopped. Ten (10/41; 24.39%) patients complained of blurred vision, and 15 (15/41; 36.59%) patients referred to foreign body sensation the first day after surgery; both sensations resolved spontaneously after 1 week in all cases. No failures, significant changes in BCVA (p = 0.387) or severe complications were found.
conclusionsIn this case series, trabeculectomy with suprachoroidal derivation exhibited high efficacy and safety after a 24-month follow-up. A larger sample with a control group is needed to confirm our initial findings.
