1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeThe study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and predictive factors of success after selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) for treating various types of open-angle glaucoma in a Thai population.

designThe study employed a retrospective cohort design. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe study retrospectively recruited Thai subjects diagnosed with open-angle glaucoma receiving first time selective laser trabeculoplasty. Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), ocular hypertension (OHT) and other types of open-angle glaucoma were included. Reduced intraocular pressure (IOP) of 20% or decreased number of antiglaucoma drugs usage after SLT was defined as success. Various parameters were analyzed for association with SLT success.

resultsNinety-six eyes were recruited in the study. Mean pre- and postSLT IOP were 19.31±3.59 and 15.04±3.13 mmHg, respectively. IOP decreased significantly in all follow-up visits (p<0.001). Overall, 59.4% met the treatment endpoint. More than 10% postSLT IOP elevation at 1 hour was the only covariate positively associated with SLT success in both univariate (odds ratio (OR) = 1.042, p = 0.037) and multivariate analyses (OR = 1.040, p = 0.046). Underlying hypertension and preSLT IOP were negatively associated with SLT success in both univariate (OR = 0.970, p = 0.026, OR = 0.955, p < 0.001) and multivariate analysis (OR = 0.970, p = 0.026, OR = 0.991, p < 0.001).

conclusionIOP significantly decreased as well as the number of antiglaucoma drugs needed after SLT. More than 10% postSLT IOP elevation at 1 hour was a positive predictor whereas systemic hypertension and preSLT IOP were negative predictors of SLT success.
