Acute Closed-Angle Glaucoma-an Ophthalmological Emergency.
Article in Deutsches Arzteblatt international, 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
backgroundAcute closed-angle glaucoma has an incidence of 2.2-4.1 cases per 100 000 persons per year in Europe. It is an ophthalmological emergency in which markedly elevated intraocular pressure can damage vision permanently. Because the acute symptoms are not always clearly referable to the eyes, patients often present to physicians who are not ophthalmologists.
methodsThis review is based on pertinent articles retrieved by a selective search in PubMed.
resultsThe diverse symptoms of acute closed-angle glaucoma include eye redness, worsening of vision and other visual disturbances, headache, and nausea. Acute closed-angle glaucoma has multiple causes. Not all predisposing factors have been definitively identified; above all, there are certain anatomical configurations of the eye that make it more likely to arise. The goals of treatment are to reduce the elevated intraocular pressure rapidly, which usually leads to marked symptom relief, as well as to eliminate the situation that led to closed-angle glaucoma. For proper treatment, the patient should be seen by an ophthalmologist without delay, on the day of symptom onset if possible.
conclusionPrimary prevention of acute closed-angle glaucoma is not always possible. Even physicians who are not ophthalmologists can diagnose markedly elevated intraocular pressure by palpation of the globe. Proper, specific treatment can help patients rapidly and lastingly.
