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

Selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) is a useful treatment for intraocular pressure (IOP) control. However, there are only a few reports which compare the outcomes of SLT between primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG). We compared the efficacy of SLT for patients with PACG following phacoemulsification with POAG receiving maximal medical therapy (MMT). Consecutive glaucoma patients followed up for at least 1 year after SLT were retrospectively evaluated and IOP reductions at 6 months and 12 months were analyzed. Seventy-six patients were included in the analyses. The baseline IOPs in the POAG and PACG group were 18.5 ± 3.3 mmHg and 16.9 ± 2.5 mmHg, respectively, with 2.8 ± 0.9 and 2.7 ± 0.8 types of IOP lowering medication. The average IOP at the 6-month and 12-month follow-up after SLT was significantly decreased and comparable in both the POAG and PACG groups. For those with a low baseline IOP, the effect of SLT on IOP reduction at 12 months was significantly better in the PACG than in the POAG group (
