The long-term outcome of trabeculotomy: comparison with filtering surgery in Japan.
Observational study in BMC ophthalmology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
backgroundTo investigate the long-term outcome of trabeculotomy and to compare it with that of trabeculectomy.
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients who had undergone standalone trabeculotomy. Inclusion criteria included a follow-up period of at least 6 years, availability of reliable static visual field results, etc. Age- and preoperative intraocular pressure -matched trabeculectomy cases served as controls. A Kaplan-Meier analysis was employed as a measure of surgical success. Additional clinical factors were also analyzed.
resultsTwenty-five eyes of 25 trabeculotomy patients and 20 eyes of 20 trabeculectomy patients with a mean postoperative follow-up period of 8.0 years were selected. The Kaplan-Meier analysis estimated that the success probability defined as intraocular pressure < 16 mmHg was 44.0 ± 9.9% and 75.0 ± 9.7% at 6 years for trabeculotomy and trabeculectomy, respectively. The final mean deviation significantly progressed in trabeculotomy cases in Central 30-2 programs of the Humphrey Field Analyzer (P = 0.025). Patient characteristics and postoperative clinical data were analyzed by Mann-Whitney's U test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test.
conclusionsWhile trabeculotomy was inferior to trabeculectomy in terms of intraocular pressure control and visual field stability in our series, surgical indications should always be determined on an individual basis, pending further research.
