Comparison of 360° circumferential trabeculotomy and conventional trabeculotomy in primary pediatric glaucoma surgery: complications, reinterventions and preoperative predictive risk factors.
Article in International 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
purposeTo quantify the postoperative complications and the need of re-operation after a single circumferential trabeculotomy versus a single conventional trabeculotomy, in 5 years follow-up, in patients who underwent primary pediatric glaucoma surgery. For each complication and each re-operation case, we calculate the risk of appearance pointing out the possible preoperative risk factors by establishing a statistical connection between the result and the values of preoperative IOP, corneal diameter, or axial length.
methodsThis was a retrospective study of patients aged 1 day to 3 years who underwent primary pediatric glaucoma surgery. A total of 45 patients (79 eyes) were followed up for at least 5 years. There were two groups: the 360° circumferential trabeculotomy with illuminated catheter group and the conventional trabeculotomy group.
resultsHyphema was the most common post-operative complication occurring in 64 eyes (81.01%) 30 (78.95%) in the conventional group and 34 (82.93%) in the circumferential group. There have been 5 eyes (6.3%) that needed re-operation: 1 case of hypotony (7 mmHg) and 4 cases of postop hypertension, 1 case (2.43%) in the circumferential group and the rest of 4 cases (10.53%) in the conventional group.
conclusionsA preop IOP of 25 mmHg or more in the conventional group is statistically significant predictive (p = 0.023) for postop hyphema, as well as a preop IOP of 28 mmHg or more is predictive (p = 0.02) for the need of reintervention. Circumferential trabeculotomy has better results in time, similar complications and lower failure rates meaning less eyes requiring re-operation than conventional trabeculotomy.
