Preliminary Surgical Outcomes of a Trimmed-Plate Aurolab Aqueous Drainage Implant (AADI) in Eyes at High Risk of Hypotony.
Article in Clinical ophthalmology (Auckland, N.Z.), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Purpose: We describe the technique of trimming the 350 mm Methods: Consecutive patients who had received the modified trimmed-plate AADI, standard AADI and Baerveldt 250 mm Results: The sample consisted of 69 eyes (19 with trimmed-plate AADI implant; 36 eyes with the standard AADI implant and 14 eyes who received a BGI-250). The mean IOP reduction at 1 year was 15 mmHg for the Baerveldt-250, 10 mmHg for the AADI and 13 mmHg for the trimmed-plate AADI. The surgical success rate of the implants over 1 year was 85.7% (95% CI, 53.9-96.2%) for BGI-250, 81.5% (62.6-91.5%) for standard AADI and 78.2% (51.7-91.3%) for the trimmed AADI. Conclusion: Trimming the plate of the AADI manually may provide a safe and low-cost method of obtaining a successful surgical outcome in eyes at high risk of hypotony.
