Improvement of the Safety Profile of Canaloplasty and Phacocanaloplasty: A Review of Complications and Their Management.
Review in Journal of ophthalmology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Research on the methods used to achieve persistent and safe control of intraocular pressure resulted in the implementation of novel surgical procedures, such as canaloplasty and phacocanaloplasty. Herein, we review the literature focused on the safety profile of canaloplasty and phacocanaloplasty and the management of related complications. The aim of canaloplasty is to restore the natural aqueous outflow. This goal is achieved via a surgical procedure that involves viscocanalostomy with catheterisation of Schlemm's canal (360°) and placement of a circumferential suture that tensions the canal walls. This improves Schlemm's canal drainage, choroidoscleral flow, and subconjunctival filtration. The efficacy of canaloplasty for reducing the intraocular pressure is similar to those of trabeculectomy with mitomycin C and deep sclerectomy augmented with an implant and mitomycin C. However, canaloplasty is associated with a lower complication rate than those conventional techniques. Novel microsurgical techniques for the treatment of glaucoma are unlikely to replace the conventional methods. However, these new techniques offer alternatives, especially for patients who have an early indication for surgical intervention. Nevertheless, canaloplasty is associated with the expectations of efficient, safe, and modern surgical treatment.
