Bilateral consecutive Xen gel stent surgery during pregnancy for uncontrolled early-onset primary open angle glaucoma.
Article in American journal of ophthalmology case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
purposeTo report here a case of uncontrolled glaucoma during third-trimester of pregnancy that was treated successfully with bilateral Xen gel stent insertion. OBSERVATIONS: A 35-year-old woman presented during the third trimester of pregnancy with bilateral uncontrolled primary open angle glaucoma. Her disc examination and visual fields were consistent with advanced glaucoma. After failed Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty and maximal medical treatment, including Acetazolamide, she was treated with bilateral consecutive Xen stent surgery with successful control of her intraocular pressure. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE: The use of Xen implant may have advantages over traditional trabeculectomy, especially during pregnancy, as the procedure is shorter, with less dependence on on-table antimetabolite and being minimally invasive with sparing of the conjunctiva.
