Comparison of the short-term effectiveness and safety profile of ab interno combined trabeculotomy using 2 types of trabecular hooks.
Article in Japanese journal of ophthalmology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers.
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
purposeTo compare the short-term surgical effectiveness and safety profile of ab interno trabeculotomy using 2 types of trabecular hooks. STUDY
designRetrospective comparative study. PATIENTS AND
methodsA retrospective chart review was performed on Japanese open-angle glaucoma patients who underwent ab interno trabeculotomy with phacoemulsification and who had a 6-month follow-up. Trabeculotomy was performed using 2 kinds of trabecular hooks, the Tanito ab interno Trabeculotomy Micro-hook (TMH) or the Kahook Dual Blade (KDB). The patients' demographics, preoperative and postoperative intraocular pressures (IOPs), medication scores, and occurrence of complications were analyzed and compared.
resultsFifty-nine eyes with open-angle glaucoma were included in the final analysis. Trabeculotomy was performed using the TMH in 30 eyes (50.8%) and the KDB in 29 eyes (49.2%). Significant decreases in IOP from the baseline (P < 0.001, except for the 1-month time-point in the KDB group, when P < 0.01) after the 1-month time-point and the medication scores (P < 0.001) at all time-points were noted in both groups. However, the percentage changes in the IOP and medication scores from the baseline at each time-point did not differ significantly between the 2 groups, with the exception of the medication score at the 1-month time-point (P < 0.0283). The occurrence of postoperative complications was similar in the 2 groups.
conclusionsThe present study demonstrates the absence of significant differences in IOP and medication score reductions at almost all time-points between the TMH and KDB groups.
