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

backgroundWhen using subconjunctival/sub-Tenon's ab interno glaucoma surgical procedures, patient selection and preoperative management are essential to reduce postoperative scarring of the bleb.

objectiveThe aim of this study was to compile a list of risk factors that may have an unfavorable effect on the scarring process.

methodA literature search was carried out in PubMed with respect to the scarring process of the gel implant XEN®.

resultsOphthalmological risk factors for conjunctivoscleral/Tenon's wound healing process include dry eye, allergies, use of eye drops containing preservatives and previous eye surgery.

conclusionThe preoperative administration of artificial tear substitutes, corticosteroids and the fundamental change to preservative-free eye drops can support the normalization of a chronic inflammatory altered conjunctiva and thus positively influence the wound healing process after surgery.
