Effects of Tafluprost on Ocular Blood Flow.
Review in Ophthalmology and therapy, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Increasing evidence indicates that improving ocular blood flow (OBF) can be a therapeutic direction for glaucoma therapy. Tafluprost, a prostaglandin analogue which lowers the intraocular pressure (IOP), has been shown to improve OBF in animals and humans. Several animal experiments showed that topical tafluprost significantly increased optic nerve head and retinal blood flow. Clinical trials also showed a beneficial effect of tafluprost on optic nerve head and macula blood flow, and a good ocular pulse amplitude-lowering effect. But, there are still a few conflicting results. Overall, tafluprost seems to have a beneficial effect on OBF, and the positive effect is probably independent from its IOP-lowering effect, which also is expected to improve OBF. Moreover, reducing the intracellular free Ca
