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 observe and compare the efficacy of modified trabeculectomy (TE), Ahmed drainage valve implantation (AGV), and EX-PRESS glaucoma shunt for refractory glaucoma (RG). Methods: The study population of this retrospective study comprised 73 patients (76 eyes) who were suffering from RG and treated with modified TE, AGV, and EX-PRESS glaucoma shunt in our hospital from October 2012 to October 2020. The number of cases who underwent modified TE, AVG, and EX-PRESS glaucoma shunt was 36 (38 eyes). 19 (20 eyes), and 18 patients (18 eyes), respectively. The intraocular pressure (IOP), best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), postoperative antiglaucoma medications, filter bubble morphology, anterior chamber depth (ACD), successful rate, and postoperative complications were recorded and statistically analyzed preoperative and 1 d, 1 w, 1 mon, 3 mon, 6 mon, and the end follow-up after operation. Results: The BCVA differed insignificantly among the three cohorts before and 6 months after surgery. Compared to preoperative BCVA, the postoperative BCVA of the three groups had no statistical significance. An obvious reduction in IOP was observed in all the three group after operation ( Conclusion: Modified TE, AGV, and EX-PRESS glaucoma shunt showed equivalent efficacy for RG, which could validly reduce IOP and postoperative antiglaucoma medications. However, the success rates of modified TE and AGV were slightly higher than those of EX-PRESS glaucoma shunt in the last follow-up, and their complications were slightly less than those of the EX-PRESS glaucoma shunt.
