Insertion of a Preserflo microshunt inside a non-valved glaucoma shunt to treat late-onset hypotony.

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
We present a case of advanced glaucoma with previously failed trabeculectomy who underwent a Baerveldt tube (BVT) insertion, with initial success. However, 9 months post BVT insertion he developed profound clinically significant hypotony. Two attempts at controlling this with suture exchange led to episodes of significant ocular hypertension, followed by hypotony each time. We describe a technique of using a cut segment of the novel, polystyrene-block-isobutylene-block- styrene (SIBs) based Preserflo Microshunt (Santen Inc., Miami, FL) inserted into the tip of a BVT to control late onset hypotony with success. IOP at 6 weeks was 12mmHg on two drops with complete resolution of the choroidal maculopathy.
