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

purposeWe describe a case of conjunctival erosion following a PRESERFLO® MicroShunt procedure, and the subsequent revision surgery. OBSERVATIONS: Conjunctival erosion was noted overlying the MicroShunt implant at postoperative week 11, 8 weeks following a bleb needling procedure for bleb encapsulation. A brisk leak was observed at the site of erosion. The patient underwent a subsequent revision procedure with repositioning of the MicroShunt implant and mitomycin C (MMC) application. CONCLUSION AND IMPORTANCE: Conjunctival erosion may be a relatively rare but important complication following MicroShunt surgery and may arise from a variety of risk factors. Extra care should be taken during bleb needling in the context of MicroShunt, and needling should be directed posteriorly, beyond the distal tip of the MicroShunt.
