Effect of shunt type on rates of tube-cornea touch and corneal decompensation after tube shunt surgery in uveitic glaucoma.
Article in Graefe's archive for clinical and experimental ophthalmology = Albrecht von Graefes Archiv fur klinische und experimentelle Ophthalmologie, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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 evaluate the effect of tube shunt type [Ahmed (AGV) versus Baerveldt (BGI)] on the frequency of tube-cornea touch and corneal decompensation after tube shunt surgery.
methodsThis retrospective comparative study included 145 eyes of 130 patients with uveitic glaucoma who underwent AGV (75 eyes) or BGI (70 eyes) implantations. Electronic medical records were reviewed to document demographic factors, intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction, frequency of tube-cornea touch, corneal decompensation, and need for subsequent corneal transplantation.
resultsThe mean follow-up was 27.7±3.3 months for AGV and 32.8±3.8 months for BGI (p=0.30). Tube-cornea touch was observed in 5 eyes after BGI and 1 eye in the AGV group (p=0.08). The BGI group reported a significantly higher rate of corneal decompensation (9 versus 0; p=0.001) and transplantation (6 versus 0; p=0.01) compared to the AGV group. Previous trabeculectomy was a significant risk factor for corneal complications in eyes undergoing BGI implantation (odds ratio [OR]= 8.17, 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.78-37.45, p=0.007).
conclusionSimilar rates of tube-cornea touch were observed in both shunt types; BGI shunts were associated with a greater incidence of corneal complications and transplantation as compared to AGV in this retrospective series of uveitic glaucoma cases.
