Prognostic factors for successful Baerveldt glaucoma implant surgery for refractory glaucoma after multiple surgeries.
Article in Japanese journal of ophthalmology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
purposeTo determine the prognostic factors for success 3 years after Baerveldt glaucoma implant (BGI) surgery. STUDY
designSingle-center retrospective clinical study.
methodsWe analyzed 27 eyes (24 patients) treated with BGI surgery between 2012 and 2016 at Osaka University Hospital. Patients were followed for a minimum of 3 years postoperatively. We analyzed the success rates and risk factors. Failure was defined as the need for additional surgery for IOP reduction, loss of light perception, and intraocular pressure (IOP) ≧22 mmHg (definition 1) or ≧17 mmHg (definition 2) at two consecutive follow-up visits.
resultsThe mean number of previous eye surgeries was 4.1 ± 3.3. The success rates were 81.5% and 77.8%, respectively, 1 year and 3 years after surgery based on definition 1 and 51.9% and 48.2%, respectively, based on definition 2. The early and late surgical complication rates, respectively, were 29.6% and 22.2%. An IOP 2 months after BGI surgery of ≧17 mmHg and the number of previous eye surgeries were significant risk factors for failure based on definition 2.
conclusionThe long-term results and complication rates after BGI surgery for refractory glaucoma in our hospital were similar to previous reports, and the IOP 2 months after BGI surgery and the number of previous eye surgeries were associated with the prognosis.
