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

aimTo analyze the therapeutic effect of combined ab-interno trabeculectomy and cataract surgery on intraocular pressure (IOP) levels in supine and sitting postures during a 24-hour IOP profile.

methodsTwenty-six eyes of twenty-six patients receiving ab-interno trabeculectomy using electroablation of the trabecular meshwork combined with cataract surgery or stand-alone were included in this retrospective analysis. IOP change during 24-hour IOP profiles within two years postoperatively were analyzed for eyes receiving surgery ("study eyes") and compared to fellow eyes, which had not received surgery. Clinical data including mean sitting IOP (siIOP), mean supine IOP (suIOP) and the number of topical antiglaucomatous medications (TAM) were extracted from patients' files.

resultsPreoperatively, siIOP was 17.6±5.3 mm Hg in study and 17.1±4.7 mm Hg in fellow eyes (

conclusionIOP after ab-interno trabeculectomy shows a comparable relative reduction in both supine and sitting position. Classical trabeculectomy is known to lower suIOP overproportionally.
