Initial Glaucoma Medication in the Hypertensive Phase Following Ahmed Valve Implantation: A Comparison of Results Achieved Using Aqueous Suppressants and Prostaglandin Analogs.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2020. 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
backgroundTo compare the effects of aqueous suppressants (AS) and prostaglandin (PG) analogs during the hypertensive phase on intraocular pressure (IOP) and surgical outcomes.
methodsIn this retrospective, observational study, 66 eyes (66 patients) with Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) implantation were included. As evaluation items, IOP changes, number of postoperative medications, the surgical success rate, and postoperative complications were examined. Complete success was defined as IOP between 6 and 21 mmHg without medications, while qualified success was with a maximum of four medications.
resultsThe short-term IOP reduction following initial medication was 9.3 mmHg for AS and 4.4 mmHg for PG analogs (
conclusionsAssociation between AS used as the first medications during the hypertensive phase and better IOP control and a higher success rate was observed. The type of the initial glaucoma medication after AGV implantation could affect short- and long-term surgical outcomes.
