Surgical management of glaucoma in Fuchs uveitis syndrome: Trabeculectomy or Ahmed glaucoma valve.
Article in Journal of current ophthalmology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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 evaluate the outcome of trabeculectomy versus Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) surgery in patients with Fuchs uveitis Syndrome (FUS).
methodsTwenty-eight eyes with uncontrolled glaucoma and at least 6 months of follow-up were enrolled. In 16 eyes trabeculectomy and in 12 eyes AGV implant were performed. The primary outcome measure was surgical success defined as 5 < intraocular pressure (IOP) ≤ 21 mmHg (criterion A) and 5 < IOP ≤ 16 mmHg (criterion B), with at least 20% reduction in IOP, either with no medication (complete success) or with no more than preoperative medications (qualified success). The sum of complete and qualified success was defined as cumulative success.
resultsThe mean age of the patients in the trabeculectomy group and the AGV group was 44.92 ± 9.02 and 45.76 ± 7.10 years, respectively (
conclusionThe success rate of trabeculectomy was higher than AGV in the surgical management of glaucoma in FUS during a medium-term follow-up.
