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 assess the long-term outcomes of choroidal detachments (CDs) in eyes following trabeculectomy. Methods: Retrospective comparative case series. Data of patients with CDs following trabeculectomy (5-year period) with or without cataract surgery with a minimum of 3 months of follow-up were included. Results: In total, 45 patients with CDs following trabeculectomy were included. The mean age was 63.27 ± 8.68 years, (M:F = 2:1); 29 of 45 eyes (64.4%) had a baseline IOP of >24 mm Hg. Patients had a median follow-up of 22.2 (IQR: 16.2-30.5) months. Further, 10 of 45 eyes (22.2%) had CDs following suture lysis. The median onset of choroidal detachment from the time of surgery was 16.0 (IQR: 11-36) days. The mean BCVA improved from 0.62 ± 0.28 to 0.24 ± 0.27 (P < 0.001) and mean IOP increased from 4.07 ± 2.66 to 11.20 ± 5.31 (P < 0.001) at last visit. The cumulative success rates were 76.4% (95% CI: 48.4-90.5) in POAG eyes and 79.3% (95% CI: 62.8-89.1) in PACG eyes (P = 0.547). Medical management was the mainstay in all patients. Four of 45 (8.88%) patients underwent subsequent choroidal drainage. Conclusion: Choroidal detachment following modern-day trabeculectomy has favorable long-term visual acuity and IOP outcomes. There was no difference in the long-term surgical success of trabeculectomy with choroidal detachments in primary angle-closure and open-angle glaucoma eyes. Long-term follow-up is essential to prevent chronic hypotony and trabeculectomy failure.
