Modified viscocanalostomy in the Chinese population with open angle glaucoma: a 10-year follow-up results.
Article in International journal of ophthalmology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
aimTo study the long-term efficacy and safety of modified viscocanalostomy in Chinese people with open angle glaucoma (OAG).
methodsThis retrospective study included a total of 100 eyes from 100 Chinese patients with medically uncontrolled OAG. All the patients underwent modified viscocanalostomy with injection of viscoelastic material in the surgically created ostia of Schlemm's canal (SC). The modifications included peeling of the inner wall of SC and the juxtacanalicular meshwork, use of mitomycin C, and loosely suturing the superficial scleral flap. Intraocular pressure (IOP), visual acuity, number of medications, laser goniopuncture data and complications were recorded. The definition of complete (qualified) success was an IOP equal to or lower than 21, 18, 16 mm Hg without (with or without) anti-glaucoma medications.
resultsThe mean IOP was 33.5±9.9 mm Hg before surgery, 15.2±3.6 mm Hg (mean IOP reduction of 51%) at 5y after surgery, and 15.6±2.8 mm Hg (mean IOP reduction of 49.9%) at 10y after surgery (
conclusionModified viscocanalostomy could be performed to lower IOP, decrease multiple anti-glaucoma drops use as well. It's a safe procedure with less complications over 10y in Chinese individuals with OAG.
