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

objectiveTo compare between the surgical outcomes of Tenon capsule grafting and autologous scleral graft in Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) surgery in the management of refractory glaucoma and prevention of tube exposure.

resultsThere was a significant reduction in IOP in both groups, with more reduction in the Tenon graft group where the mean IOP after one year was 11.66 ± 0.89 mmHg, whereas in the scleral graft group, the mean IOP was 14.20 ± 4.0 mmHg (

conclusionTenon capsule grafting and autologous scleral grafting might be effective and safe techniques when applied with AGV in the management of refractory glaucoma. Tenon capsule resection with grafting showed relatively low incidence of tube exposure and hypertensive phase.
