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
introductionTo compare 1-year outcomes of CO
methodsThis was a prospective, comparative, case series study. A total of 46 eyes with POAG underwent CLASS or CLASS + Phaco were followed up for 1 year. The primary outcomes included changes in intraocular pressure (IOP), medication and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA). The secondary outcomes were success rate, functional bleb, postoperative laser intervention and complications.
resultsCLASS alone resulted in a greater IOP reduction compared with CLASS + Phaco. BCVA improved remarkably in CLASS + Phaco group, but there was no difference in BCVA before and after CLASS. The number of antiglaucoma medications significantly decreased at 12 months postoperatively in both groups. Functional blebs were more commonly seen in the CLASS than combination group. The overall success rate was higher in the CLASS than CLASS + Phaco group at 1 year after surgery. The incidence of peripheral anterior synechiae (PAS) in CLASS + Phaco group was significantly lower than that of CLASS alone.
conclusionCLASS alone achieved a greater IOP reduction, more common functional bleb formation and a higher success rate compared to CLASS combined with Phaco, while combination surgery yielded a better BCVA improvement and a lower PAS incidence than CLASS alone. Both surgical strategies have favorable safety and efficacy among POAG patients. Combined surgery could be a viable option for patients with co-existing POAG and cataract.
