Non-contact direct selective laser trabeculoplasty: light propagation analysis.
Article in Biomedical optics express, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT), used to treat glaucoma and ocular hypertension, requires the use of a gonioscope placed on the cornea to visualize and irradiate the trabecular meshwork (TM). Alternatively, non-contact direct SLT (DSLT) irradiates the TM through the overlying tissues. Here we analyze this innovative procedure using analytical modeling and Monte Carlo simulations to quantify the laser energy reaching the TM through the overlying tissues. Compared with energy launched from the laser, DSLT energy transmission to the TM is 2.8 times less than SLT, which verifies the efficacy of non-contact DSLT given the lowest reported effective SLT energies.
