One-Year Results of Stab Incision Glaucoma Surgery and Radiofrequency-Assisted Stab Incision in Management of Open-Angle Glaucoma.
Article in Middle East African journal of ophthalmology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeThe aim of the study is to evaluate the surgical outcome of stab incision glaucoma surgery (SIGS) and compare it with radiofrequency-assisted stab incision in the treatment of uncontrolled open-angle glaucoma. PATIENTS AND
methodsA prospective, interventional study included 50 eyes who were assigned into two equal groups: Group A underwent stab incision procedure with preoperative subconjunctival (SC) mitomycin-C (MMC) and Group B underwent radiofrequency-assisted technique without MMC. Intraoperative and postoperative complications, visual acuity, intraocular pressure (IOP), and bleb status were evaluated up to 12 months.
resultsMean preoperative IOP in Group A was 26.96 ± 2.42 reduced to 13.43 ± 2.31 while in Group B was 27.20 ± 3.57 reduced to 15.48 ± 3.68 mmHg (
conclusionSIGS with SC MMC is an effective and safe procedure in IOP lowering, while radiofrequency-assisted stab incision had high incidence of subconjunctival scarring and ostium closure.
