Glaucoma drainage implants.
Review in International journal of ophthalmology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 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
Glaucoma drainage devices have traditionally been reserved for refractory glaucoma. However, there is an increasing body of evidence to suggest the use of these implants at an earlier stage in the surgical management of glaucoma. We describe the mechanics behind their function as well as the various implants available. The implants vary in size, surface area and composition and hence the surgical implantation of these devices are described in detail. The knowledge of such devices and their potential complications is fundamental for the successful management of patients who undergo aqueous-shunt surgery. Careful patient selection and optimal postoperative management is critical to the successful patient outcomes.
