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

purposeTo evaluate the outcomes of flanged intraocular lens fixation combined with microhook trabeculotomy. PATIENTS AND

methodsThis study was a retrospective case series and included nine eyes of nine exfoliation glaucoma patients with subluxated lens or intraocular lens who underwent flanged intraocular lens fixation combined with microhook trabeculotomy between May 2019 and February 2020 at the Kochi University Hospital. The mean best-corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure, and number of antiglaucoma medications were compared before and after surgery.

resultsThe mean follow-up period was 5.67 ± 2.50 months. The mean best-corrected visual acuity improved significantly from 0.83 ± 0.72 preoperatively to 0.22 ± 0.34 at the last visit (p = 0.015). The mean intraocular pressure had significantly reduced from 27.1 ± 8.12 mmHg preoperatively to 13.2 ± 3.73 at the last visit (p = 0.008). The mean number of antiglaucoma medications decreased significantly from 4.56 ± 1.88 to 2.0 ± 1.0 at the last visit (p = 0.008). Postoperative intraocular pressure control to 21 mmHg or lower was achieved or maintained in all patients. Postoperative vitreous hemorrhage was observed in six eyes (66.7%), two of which needed reoperation.

conclusionsThis study showed that flanged intraocular lens fixation combined with microhook trabeculotomy might be effective for exfoliation glaucoma with subluxated lens or intraocular lens.
