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

backgroundSelective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) is a relatively safe and effective therapy in lowering intraocular pressures (IOP) for glaucoma.

aimTo study the long-term effects of SLT on IOP and number of glaucoma medications used in Chinese eyes.

methodsThis is a retrospective study in which 75 eyes of 70 patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG,

resultsAll patients (33 male, 37 female) were Chinese. The mean age was 44.34 ± 16.14 years. Mean pre-SLT IOP was 22.75 ± 2.08 mmHg in OAG and 22.52 ± 2.62 mmHg in PGS. Mean IOP was significantly reduced 1 d, 1 wk, 1 mo and 3 mo after laser treatment (

conclusionSLT could reduce IOP as adjunctive treatment both in OAG and PGS groups. SLT significantly reduced the number of glaucoma medications used 3-years following treatment in glaucoma patients.
