Recommendations for the management of elevated intraocular pressure due to bleb fibrosis after XEN gel stent implantation.
Article in Clinical ophthalmology (Auckland, N.Z.), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 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
Surgical management of glaucoma offers a means of effective disease control. A gel stent that facilitates drainage to the subconjunctival space offers intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction similar to traditional glaucoma filtering surgeries in a less invasive manner. However, like all subconjunctival filtering procedures that result in a bleb, fibrosis can present as a cause of elevated IOP. The following proposed techniques and recommendations for managing elevated IOP due to bleb fibrosis after gel stent implantation are based on the clinical experience of the authors. The goal of this paper is to improve outcomes following gel stent surgery by providing guidance on assessment of bleb function and strategies for bleb enhancement.
