Inter-Eye Comparison of the Ocular Surface of Glaucoma Patients Receiving Surgical and Medical Treatments.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Background: Ocular surface frequently affects glaucoma patients. In this paper we aimed at evaluating the impact of glaucoma surgery on the ocular surface of patients who received unilateral trabeculectomy. Methods: 26 consecutive patients successfully treated with trabeculectomy on one eye (Trab Eye) and under control with topical treatments on the fellow eye (Med Eye) were included in this observational study. They received IDEEL and OSDI questionnaires, Tear Film Osmolarity (TFO), grading of conjunctival hyperemia, fluorescein tear break-up time (tBUT), grading of corneal staining and Schirmer test. Results: IDEEL and OSDI scores were 48 ± 38 and 11 ± 12, respectively, with moderate correlation (r = 0.50, p = 0.03). Compared with Med eyes, Trab Eyes had higher tBUT (6.5 ± 3.5 vs. 5.1 ± 2.7 s, p = 0.004), lower conjunctival hyperemia (0.8 ± 0.9 and 1.7 ± 1.1 respectively, p < 0.001) and lower corneal staining (0.3 ± 0.5 and 0.6 ± 0.5, respectively, p = 0.03). Correlation between corneal staining and conjunctival hyperemia was 0.55 in Trab Eyes (p = 0.01) and 0.44 in Med Eyes (p > 0.05). Patients with bilateral corneal staining had had threefold worse questionnaire scores (p < 0.05). The duration of treatment and the daily exposure to preservatives did not directly affect OS parameters in this cohort of patients. Conclusions: Patients receiving successful trabeculectomy showed better OS homeostasis (higher TBUT, lower grading of conjunctival hyperemia and corneal staining) than fellow medically treated eyes. Presence of corneal epithelial damage in both eyes is the factor more consistently affecting questionnaire scores.
