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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesPRESERFLO MicroShunt implantation is a relatively new and increasingly popular treatment for recalcitrant glaucoma. Though relatively uncommon, persistent or severe postoperative hypotony may occur and its treatment presents a significant challenge. SUBJECTS/

methodsInterventional case series of the first 7 consecutive patients who underwent the insertion of a rip-cord suture to treat severe or persistent postoperative hypotony.

resultsIn 6 patients, the hypotony resolved and vision was restored. The 7

conclusionsStenting the PRESERFLO MicroShunt with a rip-cord suture is a simple technique to correct persistent or severe postoperative hypotony.
