Intra-operative optical coherence tomography in glaucoma surgery-a systematic review.

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
The application of the OCT in clinical ophthalmology has expanded significantly since its introduction more than 20 years ago. There has been recent growing interest in the application of intra-operative optical coherence tomography (iOCT). The iOCT's ability to enhance visualisation and depth appreciation has the potential to be further exploited in glaucoma surgery, especially with the emergence of Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS)-to facilitate targeted device placement and fine surgical manoeuvres in the angles, the sub-conjunctival layer and the suprachoroidal space. Hence, this study aims to appraise the current literature on the applications of iOCT in glaucoma surgery. A total of 79 studies were identified following a literature search adhering to PRISMA guidelines. After full text evaluation, 10 studies discussing iOCT use in glaucoma surgery were included. Traditional glaucoma filtering procedures reviewed included trabeculectomy surgery, goniosynechiolysis, bleb needling and glaucoma drainage device implantation. MIGS procedures reviewed included canaloplasty, trabecular aspiration, ab-interno trabectome and the XEN45 gel stent. iOCT use in ophthalmic surgery is becoming increasingly prevalent and has already been applied in various surgeries and procedures in the field of glaucoma. With the greater adoption of MIGS, iOCT may further contribute in facilitating surgical techniques and improving outcomes. While iOCT offers many advantages, there are still limitations to be overcome-iOCT technology continues to evolve to optimise imaging quality and user-experience.
