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
aimsTo present the results of our case series with a technique we defined as "modified viscotrabeculotomy" which incorporates the benefits of 360° of trabeculotomy and viscodilation and viscodissection of canal of Schlemm using a microcatheter. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis study was designed as a prospective interventional case series and was conducted in Cerrahpasa Medical School Ophthalmology Clinic. Forty-one eyes of 30 patients diagnosed with congenital glaucoma (CG) underwent modified viscotrabeculotomy surgery following initial preoperative examination. The main outcome measure was the surgical success of the procedure, which is determined by an intraocular pressure (IOP) of <18 mm Hg without medication or resurgery; qualified success is defined as an IOP of <18 mm Hg under general anesthesia with an additional need for medications. The differences in IOP measurements were analyzed using paired analysis of variance (ANOVA) with repeated measures.
resultsThe mean preoperative IOP of the patients was 32.27 ± 4.89 mm Hg. The IOP values at the 1st, 3rd, 6th postoperative months, and at the last visit were 13.41 ± 2.25 mm Hg, 13.70 ± 1.78 mm Hg, 12.47 ± 1.57 mm Hg, and 12.26 ± 1.81 mm Hg, respectively. The difference between the preoperative IOP values and postoperative IOP values was statistically significant (
conclusionModified viscotrabeculotomy is a safe and effective treatment in the management of CG. HOW TO CITE THIS ARTICLE: Tamçelik N, Capar O, Atalay E.
