Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty Versus MIGS: Forgotten Art or First-Step Procedure in Selected Patients with Open-Angle Glaucoma.
Article in Ophthalmology and therapy, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
introductionTo evaluate the long-term effect on intraocular pressure (IOP) and glaucoma medication of selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) compared to minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and its potential in clinical practice.
methodsA total of 342 consecutive patients (stand-alone procedures) were included. One hundred and five patients underwent SLT treatment (360° SLT, 95-105 spots, Trabeculas SLT ARCLaser, Nürnberg, DE), 107 patients had an ab interno-derived trabeculotomy (Trabectome
resultsIn the matched cohort, the SLT cohort showed an IOP reduction of 31.2% from 19.9 ± 2.3 to 13.7 ± 2.7 mmHg (p < 0.001) 3 years postoperatively; in Trabectome
conclusionThe SLT is a low-complication and effective method for reducing pressure in mild to moderate POAG. SLT is suitable as an initial procedure when setting up a step scheme; MIGS is the treatment of choice as a follow-up for mild to moderate forms of glaucoma and accepted topical therapy. Ethic approval had been given by the Ethikkommission Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin, EA4/047/20-retrospectively registered.
