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 for the first time the successful use of the Kahook Dual Blade excisional goniotomy technique in a patient with Transthyretin Amyloidosis. PATIENT AND

methodsThe Kahook Dual Blade is a single use ab interno trabeculectomy device that removes the trabecular meshwork reducing aqueous humor outflow resistance. A patient with Transthyretin Amyloidosis underwent this procedure.

resultsAb interno goniotomy with Kahook Dual Blade was a successful surgical solution to reduce intraocular pressure in a patient with Transthyretin Amyloidosis secondary glaucoma controlling IOP in association with topical hypotensors for at least 6 months.

conclusionsAb interno goniotomy with Kahook Dual Blade is a surgical option for this type of glaucoma, that treats the main site of aqueous outflow resistance in this pathology with the advantage of being minimally invasive.
