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

aimTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of modified trabeculectomy (experimental group) and implantation of EX-PRESS drainage device (control group), combined with intravitreal conbercept injection for neovascular glaucoma (NVG).

methodsTotally 30 patients with NVG were selected from June 2014 to June 2017, and randomly divided into experimental group and control group. All patients were underwent intravitreal conbercept (0.5 mg/0.05 mL) treatment before surgery. Modified trabeculectomy was performed in MT group, while EX-PRESS drainage device implantation was performed in EX group. The success rates, best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure (IOP), filtering bleb and complications were observed and compared.

resultsThe differences of success rate, BCVA and filtering bleb were not statistically significant 12mo after the surgery (

conclusionThe modified trabeculectomy and the implantation of EX-PRESS drainage device have clinical application value in reducing IOP and postoperative complications of refractory NVG.
