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

Purpose: To describe the management of a case of chronic, recurrent hyphema following excisional goniotomy with the Kahook Dual Blade. Observations: One week following uncomplicated surgery, the patient presented with eye pain, elevated intraocular pressure, and layered hyphema. The hyphema resolved with conservative measures but recurred several times with similar symptoms over the next several months. An attempt to stenose the "oozing" collector channel using the argon laser was unsuccessful. Treatment of the angle with an endoscopic semi-conductor diode laser (endoscopic cyclophotocoagulative or ECP) probe successfully altered the angle preventing further episodes of recurrent hyphema. The primary glaucoma procedure failed necessitating a filtering procedure. Conclusions and importance: Clinician should be aware of this potential complication, its treatment options, and outcomes.
