Review in Journal of experimental pharmacology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 causes irreversible vision loss, with elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) being the only known modifiable risk factor. There are a variety of medical and interventional options for lowering IOP; however, despite these treatments, glaucoma continues to be a leading cause of visual impairment. Further research continues to strive for treatment options with improved side effect profiles, additional IOP-lowering effects, and ease of use. This review provides a brief summary of current IOP-lowering therapies and then outlines pipeline ocular hypotensive agents, their mechanisms of action, benefits, and side effect profiles. Advancements are seen within currently used eye drop classes such as prostaglandin analogues, Rho kinase inhibitors and nitric oxide donors, whilst there are also new drug classes, such as tyrosine protein kinase activators. Most developing drugs are topical drop formulations, with a number already having entered Phase III trials. Alternative drug delivery methods are also in development and will be briefly discussed. Pharmacological and drug delivery developments continue to provide glaucoma patients and clinicians with new options and the promise of better outcomes, particularly in terms of improved tolerance and reduced frequency of dosing.
