Ab externo 240-degree trabeculotomy versus trabeculotomy-trabeculectomy in primary congenital glaucoma.
Article in International ophthalmology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07550868 (Efficacy and Safety of Different Extents of Goniotomy in Primary Congenital Glaucoma), which is not on this map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
The trial behind it

Abstract
objectiveThis prospective study aimed to compare the surgical outcomes of ab externo 240-degree trabeculotomy and trabeculotomy-trabeculectomy in managing primary congenital glaucoma (PCG). PATIENTS AND
methodsThe study included 30 eyes of 30 patients aged less than 3 years who were diagnosed with PCG and was conducted in Menofia University Hospital between November 2018 and January 2020. The studied eyes were divided into two equal groups. Ab externo 240-degree trabeculotomy and combined trabeculotomy with trabeculectomy with MMC were performed for groups I and II, respectively. Post-operative measurements included intraocular pressure (IOP), optic disc changes, alteration in corneal clarity and transverse corneal diameter, as they are needed for antiglaucoma therapy. Post-operative complications were followed up for 1-year.
resultsThere was significant reduction in IOP in both groups during the follow-up period. The reduction was higher in group I, where mean preoperative IOP was 28.20 ± 1.74 mmHg. The IOP in the group II was 28.07 ± 3.51 mmHg. The mean IOP decreased to 13.93 ± 1.8 mmHg and 14.60 ± 1.24 mmHg in groups I and II, respectively, after 1 year (P < 0.001); however, the difference between the two groups was not significant. Regarding post-operative complications, post-operative hypotony was more common in group I. Other complications such as shallow anterior chamber, choroidal detachment and blebitis occurred more frequently in group II. However, post-operative hyphema was more common in group I. Corneal clarity improved significantly in both groups, but more so in group I, where an improvement was seen in 13 cases (86.6%), compared to 11 cases in group II (73.3%).
conclusionAb externo 240° trabeculotomy and trabeculotomy-trabeculectomy are effective techniques in primary congenital glaucoma with more reduction in IOP in Ab Externo 240° trabeculotomy. Ab externo 240° trabeculotomy provided more better surgical outcome with limited complications, especially those related to bleb formation.
