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
This study aimed to analyze the surgical outcomes of pars plana Ahmed valve implantation in vitrectomized eyes with refractory glaucoma. We performed a retrospective case review of consecutive patients with refractory glaucoma after undergoing pars plana vitrectomy who underwent pars plana Ahmed valve implantation between July 2019 and December 2020 at the glaucoma unit of the Affiliated Changshu Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University (Changshu, China). All the patients were followed up for ≥12 months postoperatively. We recorded pre- to postoperative changes in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure (IOP), number of anti-glaucoma medication, corneal endothelial count, and surgical complications, if any. There was a significant improvement in the median BCVA from 2.30 (0.87, 2.30) logMAR preoperatively to 1.70 (0.70, 2.30) logMAR at discharge and 1.0 (0.52, 1.85) at final examination (
