Surgical Outcomes of Microcatheter-assisted Trabeculotomy as a Secondary Procedure in Patients with Primary Congenital Glaucoma.
Article in Middle East African journal of ophthalmology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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 investigate the efficacy and safety of illuminated microcatheter-assisted trabeculotomy as a secondary procedure in patients with primary congenital glaucoma (PCG).
methodsThis retrospective case series included patients with PCG who underwent trabeculotomy using an illuminated microcatheter with the intent of catheterizing the full circumference of Schlemm's canal in a single procedure. Success was defined as intraocular pressure (IOP) ≤21 mmHg, with or without the use of glaucoma medications. Clinical examination data were collected for up to 36 months postoperatively.
resultsSurgery was performed on 16 eyes of 16 patients. The mean patient age was 75.1 ± 69.4 months (range: 4.0-216.0 months). Complete catheterization was achieved in 11 of the 16 eyes (69%), whereas partial catheterization was achieved in five of the 16 eyes (31%). All eyes had previously undergone surgery for PCG. The mean follow-up duration was 20.3 ± 9.0 months (range, 12.0-36.0 months). IOP was reduced from a mean of 31.8 ± 6.6 mmHg preoperatively to 15.6 ± 3.7 mmHg at the final follow-up (
conclusionAb externo circumferential trabeculotomy using an illuminated microcatheter may be safe and effective as a secondary surgical option for children with PCG after unsuccessful glaucoma surgery.
