The Outcomes of Trabectome Surgery in Patients with Low, Middle, and High Preoperative Intraocular Pressure.
Article in Clinical ophthalmology (Auckland, N.Z.), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
backgroundWe compared the efficiency of trabectome surgery for patients with differing preoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) values in a single-facility retrospective study. We evaluated surgical outcomes based on three grades of preoperative IOP: high (hi-IOP, >26 mmHg), middle (mid-IOP, 18-26 mmHg), and low (lo-IOP, <18 mmHg). PATIENTS AND
methodsWe analyzed the cases of 204 eyes that underwent trabectome surgery and were followed >2 years. We defined failure as a reduction of IOP <20% or requiring additional glaucoma surgery. We used 4 cutoff values >21, >18, >15, and >12 mmHg. Other factors that may affect surgical outcomes were also investigated: age, central corneal thickness (CCT), history of selective laser trabeculotrabculoplasty (SLT), preoperative visual field, and simultaneous cataract surgery.
resultsTrabectome surgeries significantly decreased the IOP values from 23.0 ± 7.2 mmHg to 13.6 ± 3.6 mmHg at 2 years post-surgery. The mid-IOP group achieved significantly better surgical outcomes than the lo-IOP and hi-IOP groups with cutoff values 21, 18, and 15 mmHg. A thin CCT and simultaneous cataract surgery were significantly related to better surgical outcomes with cutoff value 21.18 and 15 mmHg.
conclusionFor the patients with preoperative IOP <18 mmHg, it was difficult to decrease their IOP >20% with trabectome surgery. Patients with preoperative IOP values >26 mmHg often required additional glaucoma surgery.
