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

The XEN Gel Stent offers a unique Ab-interno approach for managing glaucoma and has shown a favorable risk profile relative to traditional trabeculectomy. XEN implantation has almost exclusively been reported in patients with open angle glaucoma and data in patients with angle closure glaucoma is limited. We report a postoperative complication of the XEN Gel Stent in a patient with primary angle closure glaucoma. An 86-year-old man with primary angle closure glaucoma underwent combined phacoemulsification and XEN implantation. After approximately two months, intraocular pressure was elevated and the stent was occluded by iris pigmentary deposits, traversing from the proximal to the distal conjunctival ends of the stent. Using an Ab-interno approach, the implant was successfully explanted, and the patient's intraocular pressure was notably lowered.
