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

purposeTo report a hypopyon following selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT). OBSERVATIONS: An 85-year-old woman with primary open-angle glaucoma underwent routine SLT. In the early post-procedural period, she presented with pain and decreased vision, and she was found to have hypopyon, trabeculitis, and corneal edema. The patient was treated with prednisolone acetate and empirically with valacyclovir due to the possibility of herpetic keratouveitis. Work-up for potential etiologies was unrevealing. Her symptoms resolved with treatment, and at eight months follow-up her visual acuity and intraocular pressure had stabilized to her baseline.

conclusionsThough safe, SLT may be associated with rare adverse events requiring intervention. Hypopyon following SLT is extremely rare, and investigation for causes unrelated to the history of SLT should be undertaken as appropriate. IMPORTANCE: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a hypopyon following SLT in a patient with no history of inflammatory intra-ocular disease.
