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

backgroundThe aim of this study is to investigate the long-term prognosis for glaucoma in patients with Posner-Schlossman syndrome (PSS).

methodsIn this retrospective case series study, a total of 98 patients with PSS from January 2014 to February 2019 were included in this study. Initial presentations and follow-up data were obtained from medical records. Vision-related quality of life (VR-QoL) was assessed using the 25-item National Eye Institute Visual Functioning Questionnaire.

resultsOf the 98 patients included in the study, 66 (67%) presented with glaucoma, and among them, 21 (32%) required glaucoma surgery. The mean follow-up time was 50.1 months (range 1-263 months). Iris involvement was noted in 46 (46.9%) eyes; 26 (26.5%) had sectoral iris changes and 20 (20.4%) showed diffuse iris changes. Eyes with iris involvement had a significantly higher number of acute attacks of uveitis than those without (p = 0.010). The 5-year glaucoma surgery-free interval was 77.8% according to Kaplan-Meier analysis. Significant predictors of glaucoma surgery included iris involvement (hazard ratio [HR] = 5.215; confidence interval [CI] = 1.387-19.610), highest number of anti-glaucoma agents (HR = 5.069; CI = 1.848-13.905), baseline average retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFLT) thickness (HR = 0.949; CI = 0.917-0.982), and disease duration (HR = 0.977; CI = 0.957-0.996). Overall complete surgical success and qualified success at 2 years was 35.3% and 75.5%, respectively. Patients with iris involvement, glaucoma surgery, and thinner average RNFLT had significantly poorer VR-QoL (all, p < 0.05).

conclusionsPatients with PSS and glaucoma required glaucoma surgery in a high rate. Iris involvement increased the probability of surgical treatment and lowered the VR-QoL of PSS patients.
