Efficacy and safety of high-dose ultrasound cyclo-plasty procedure in refractory glaucoma.
Article 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 6 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
aimTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of high-dose ultrasound cyclo-plasty (UCP) for the treatment of refractory glaucoma in Chinese patients.
methodsIn this 6-month retrospective study, 37 eyes of 37 patients suffering from severe glaucoma with uncontrolled intraocular pressure (IOP) of ≥21 mm Hg underwent 8-s ultrasonic cyclocoagulation with ten active piezoelectric elements. A complete ophthalmic examination was performed before and at 1d, 1, 3, 6mo after UCP. Therapeutic success was defined as IOP reduction from baseline ≥20% and IOP ≥5 mm Hg without adding new glaucoma medication compare to baseline at the 6-month follow-up visit. In addition to mean IOP at each follow-up visit, medications used and complications were also detected and compared to baseline.
resultsAfter UCP procedure, the mean IOP was significantly reduced (
conclusionHigh-dose UCP treatment is an effective and safe procedure to reduce IOP in Chinese patients with severe glaucoma.
