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.

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.

Abstract

backgroundTo evaluate whether short-term use of topical steroid therapy affected the efficacy of selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) for primary open-glaucoma (POAG).

methods25 eyes of 25 patients, who used a drop of dexamethasone 0.1% 4 times a day for 7 days as post-laser therapy, formed the Steroid SLT group and 24 eyes of 24 patients, where no topical steroids or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents as post-laser therapy were used, formed the No-steroid SLT group. Success was defined as an intraocular pressure (IOP) lowering exceeding 20% of pretreatment IOP.

resultsThe mean follow-up time was 21.24 months for the Steroid SLT group and 20.25 months for the No-steroid SLT group (

conclusionShort-term use of topical steroid therapy had no impact on the efficacy of SLT for POAG.
