Brinzolamide/brimonidine fixed-dose combination bid as an adjunct to a prostaglandin analog for open-angle glaucoma/ocular hypertension.
Trial report in European journal of ophthalmology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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 evaluate the additive intraocular pressure-lowering effect of twice-daily brinzolamide 1%/brimonidine 0.2% fixed-dose combination (BBFC) as an adjunct to a prostaglandin analog (PGA) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension insufficiently controlled with PGA monotherapy.
methodsIn this Phase 4, double-masked trial, patients aged ⩾18 years, with a mean intraocular pressure of ⩾19 and <32 mm Hg in at least one eye were randomized (1:1) to receive BBFC + PGA (
resultsThe mean diurnal intraocular pressure at baseline was similar in the BBFC + PGA (22.8 mm Hg) and vehicle + PGA (22.9 mm Hg) groups. The least squares mean change in diurnal intraocular pressure from baseline at Week 6 was greater with BBFC + PGA (-5.59 mm Hg (95% confidence interval: -6.2 to -5.0)) than with vehicle + PGA (-2.15 mm Hg (95% confidence interval: -2.7 to -1.6)); the treatment difference was statistically significant in favor of BBFC + PGA (-3.44 mm Hg, (95% confidence interval: -4.2 to -2.7);
conclusionBBFC + PGA significantly reduced mean diurnal intraocular pressure than PGA alone in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. The safety findings with BBFC + PGA were consistent with the known safety profile of the individual medications.
