Turn Back Elevation of Once Reduced IOP After Trabeculotomy Ab Externo and Kahook Dual Blade Surgeries Combined with Cataract Surgery.
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 11 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
purposeTo evaluate the surgical outcome of internal trabeculectomy by Kahook dual blade (KDB) with that of external trabeculotomy, each combined with phaco-lensectomy and intraocular lens implantation (Phaco). PATIENTS AND
methodsThis is a retrospective comparative study. The primary and secondary outcome measures are postsurgical intraocular pressure and postsurgical hyphema. One eye each of 76 primary open angle glaucoma (POAG), pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (PEG) and ocular hypertension (OH) patients underwent external phaco-trabeculotomy, and that of 40 POAG, PEG and OH patients underwent phaco-KDB surgery.
resultsReduction of the intraocular pressure (IOP) by phaco-KDB at one and two years was 28.4 and 27.8%, respectively, and was not significantly different from that by external phaco-trabeculotomy of 32.7% (
conclusionThe IOP reduction by the phaco-KDB was equivalent to that by external phaco-trabeculotomy up to two years. In both cohorts, once reduced postsurgical IOP tend to increase up to 24 months.
