Outcomes of adjusted trabeculotomy in cases with juvenile glaucoma.

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 evaluate surgical and visual outcomes of modified adjusted trabeculotomy in juvenile glaucoma (JG) cases.
methodsA retrospective case series; medical records of 43 patients (69 eyes) JG cases operated by adjusted trabeculotomy between 2011 and 2018. Those who completed a minimum of 1 year of regular follow-up, and up to 5 years were included in the study. Intraocular pressure (IOP), number of medications, cup/disc ratio (CDR), and visual acuity (VA) at baseline, postoperative 1, 3, 5 years were evaluated. Success required IOP ≤ 18 mmHg and a minimum of 20% reduction, without medications (full), or with medications (qualified).
resultsNumbers of patients (eyes) who completed 1, 3, and 5 follow-up years were as follows: 26 (43), 15 (27), and 11 (19). Median (range) age at surgery was 21.5 (8-43) years. Mean (range) IOP was significantly (P < .001) reduced from 23.4 ± 8.8 (11.0-46.0) mmHg to 11.5 ± 3.5 (7.0-28.0), 10.9 ± 3.6 (6.0-24.0), and 11.4 ± 3.0 (7.0-17.0) mmHg at 1, 3, and 5 years, with reduction of medication scores. At years 1, 3, and 5, complete success rates were 89.5%, 86.8%, and 89.5%, and qualified success rates were 97.4%, 94.7%, and 97.4%. Median (range) LogMAR VA significantly (P < .001) improved from 0.3 (0-2.8) to 0.17 (0-2.8) and 0.17 (0-2.8) at 1 and 5 years. Median (range) CDR was significantly (P < .001) reduced from 0.85 (0.3-1.0) to 0.85 (0.1-1.0), 0.7 (0.05-1.0), and 0.7 (0.05-0.9) at 1, 3, and 5 years.
conclusionsAdjusted trabeculotomy could effect remarkable IOP lowering for up to 5 years postoperatively in JG eyes, and seems to be an effective, low-risk surgical modality for treating such eyes. It can be associated with cupping reversibility, and visual improvement on the long-term. Good surgical technique and postoperative care are imperative to achieve a successful outcome.
