Recent trends in glaucoma surgery: a nationwide database study in Japan, 2011-2019.
Article in Japanese journal of ophthalmology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
purposeTo clarify recent trends in glaucoma surgery in Japan, including minimally invasive glaucoma surgery. STUDY
designRetrospective cohort study.
methodsWe used the Diagnostic Procedure Combination database, a nationwide administrative database in Japan. Patients who underwent glaucoma-related procedures were included. We calculated the number of surgeries stratified by procedures and age categories. We also investigated the number of glaucoma-related procedures in combination with cataract surgery.
resultsFrom fiscal years 2011 to 2019, we identified 134,331 glaucoma-related procedures at 720 hospitals. The total number of glaucoma-related procedures increased by 215% from 6516 in 2011 to 20,569 in 2019. The numbers of filtering surgeries, trabeculotomies, and glaucoma drainage devices with plates [GDD(p +)] procedures significantly increased (P = 0.002, 0.002, and 0.006, respectively), whereas the number of cyclocryotherapy procedures significantly decreased (P = 0.002). The number of iStent procedures increased by 49% from 371 in 2018 to 551 in 2019. The ≥ 65 year age group accounted for > 80% of the iStent procedures. In the 0 to 14 year age group, trabeculotomy accounted for about 70% of the procedures, and the GDD(p +) procedure became the second most common procedure after trabeculotomy because of the decrease in filtering surgeries. Among combination surgeries, trabeculotomy was most frequently performed. The proportion of combination surgery increased, especially in trabeculotomy.
conclusionsThe total number of glaucoma-related procedures increased throughout the observation period. Before 2017 filtering surgery was the most common procedure, whereas trabeculotomy was most common after 2018. The proportion of trabeculotomies performed in combination with cataract surgery continuously increased.
