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

backgroundTo evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of modified canaloplasty versus trabeculectomy in open-angle glaucoma.

methodsIn total, 210 subjects with open-angle glaucoma were included. 70 were treated with Mitomycin C-augmented modified canaloplasty with enhanced subconjunctival filtration and 140 with Mitomycin C-augmented trabeculectomy. Cases were matched 1:2 by sex and age.

resultsIn canaloplasty and trabeculectomy groups, 61.4% and 57.9% of participants were female. Mean age was 60.0 ± 13.9 and 63.0 ± 12.2 years, median follow-up time was 4.6 [IQR 4.3, 5.05] years and 5.8 [IQR 5.4, 6.3]. Strict success was achieved in 20.0% and 56.4%, complete success in 24.3% and 66.4%, and qualified success in 34.3% and 73.6% (each

conclusionsTrabeculectomy showed superiority in efficacy and equality in safety compared to modified canaloplasty.
