Combined Phacoemulsification and Ex-PRESS Implant with Everting Suture in Primary Angle-Closure Glaucoma: Survival Analysis and Predictive Factors.

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
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combined phacoemulsification and Ex-PRESS implant with everting suture in primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) and to examine predictive factors of failure. Twenty-three eyes of 18 patients were enrolled. Data about time of removal of releasable sutures and traction of the everting suture and about changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) were collected, as well as comprehensive ophthalmic examinations. Success was defined by the following criteria: IOP ≤ 18 mmHg (criterion 1); IOP ≤ 15 mmHg (criterion 2); and IOP ≤ 12 mmHg (criterion 3). Success was categorized as complete or qualified, depending on whether it was reached without or with drugs, respectively. Success rate was assessed with Kaplan-Meier survival analysis with a Cox proportional hazard model to adjust for potential confounders. The lowering of IOP and the reduction of medications were statistically significant at every follow-up visit compared with the baseline (
