Evaluation of primary Ahmed Glaucoma valve implantation in post-traumatic angle recession glaucoma in Indian eyes.

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 highlight the efficacy of primary Ahmed glaucoma valve implantation in angle recession glaucoma following blunt ocular trauma in Indian eyes.
designA retrospective analytical study. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis study included 52 patients of angle recession glaucoma, who presented between Mar 2006 to Feb 2016, out of which 38 patients had undergone primary AGV implantation, while the rest were managed with topical anti-glaucoma medications. Preoperative data included age, sex, type and mode of injury, duration of injury, assessment of best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and intraocular pressure (IOP). The extent of angle recession was observed by gonioscopy. The intraocular pressure, visual acuity, and the number of anti-glaucoma medications were measured postoperatively. The success of this technique was analyzed by using a Kaplan-Meier cumulative survival curve.
resultsFollowing AGV implantation, the mean IOP was significantly reduced to 8.7 ± 2.2 at 1st day, 10.1 ± 2.2 at 7th day, 14.2 ± 3.4 at 3rd month, 15.6 ± 3.7 at 1 year, and 15.6 ± 3.6 at 3rd-year follow-up showing statistically significant values (p < 0.001) at each visit. The IOP was successfully controlled at the last follow-up without topical treatment. Mean BCVA at 3 years -post-AGV was 0.144 (0.151) (LogMAR) which was statistically significant (p < 0.001) as compared to the mean BCVA of 0.898 (± 0.205) LogMAR units at presentation. The success rate by Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis was 90% at the mean follow-up duration of 29.47 ± 3.39 months. Overall surgical complications were noted in the form of prolonged hypotony, hyphema in 7 patients (13.5%).
conclusionsIn medically uncontrolled post-traumatic angle recession glaucoma, primary AGV Implantation is a safe and effective surgical procedure with lesser complication rates providing long-term IOP control in a younger population.
