1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness with over 70 million people affected worldwide. The surgical management of glaucoma aims to lower intraocular pressure by increasing aqueous outflow facility. The latest manufacturing techniques have allowed for the development of a number of novel implantable devices to improve safety and outcomes of glaucoma surgery. These are collectively referred to as minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) devices and are among the smallest devices implanted in the human body. This review discusses the design criterion and constraints as well as the user requirements for MIGS devices. We review how recent devices have attempted to meet these challenges and give our opinion as to the necessary characteristics for the development of future devices.
