Gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy in primary angle-closure 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. Cited by 19 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
purposeThis study aims to report on outcomes of gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) in eyes with primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG).
methodsThis study is a prospective, interventional, non-comparative case series. A total of 103 eyes from 88 patients with PACG underwent an ab interno trabeculotomy, using either a 5.0 polypropylene suture or an illuminated microcatheter, with up to 24 months of follow-up. The main outcome measures were intraocular pressure (IOP), number of antiglaucoma medications, success rate (IOP reduction ≥ 20% from baseline or IOP between 6 and 21 mmHg, without further glaucoma surgery) and complication rate.
resultsThe mean preoperative IOP was 21.4 (SD 7.4) mmHg using 2.5 (SD 1.1) glaucoma medications. These decreased postoperatively to 12.1 (SD 2.4) mmHg and 0.8 (SD 1.2) medications, at 24 months (P < 0.05). Success rate was 78% at 24 months of follow-up, and complication rate was 4.8%.
conclusionAt 24 months of follow-up, our results for GATT in PACG demonstrate that this procedure effectively lowers IOP in this subtype of glaucoma, with a low complication rate.
