Long-Term Clinical Results of Trabectome Surgery in Turkish Patients with Primary Open Angle Glaucoma and Pseudoexfoliative Glaucoma.

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
Objectives: The objectives of the study were to analyze the long-term results of trabectome surgery in Turkish patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and pseudoexfoliative glaucoma (PEXG) and to characterize the risk factors for failure. Methods: This single-center retrospective non-comparative study included 60 eyes of 51 patients diagnosed with POAG and PEXG, who underwent trabectome alone or phacotrabeculectomy (TP) surgery between 2012 and 2016. Surgical success was defined as a 20% decrease in intraocular pressure (IOP) or IOP≤21 mmHg and no further glaucoma surgery. Risk factors for further surgery were analyzed with the Cox proportional hazard ratio (HR) models. The cumulative success analysis was undertaken with the Kaplan-Meier method based on the time to further glaucoma surgery. Results: The mean follow-up period was 59.4±14.3 months. During the follow-up period, 12 eyes required additional glaucoma surgery. The mean pre-operative IOP was 26.9±6.8 mmHg. The mean IOP at the last visit was 18.8±4.7 mmHg (p<0.01). IOP decreased 30.1% from the baseline to the last visit. The average number of antiglaucomatous drug molecules used was 3.4±0.7 (range 1-4) preoperatively and 2.5±1.3 (range 0-4) at the last visit (p<0.01). The risk factors for further surgery requirement were determined as a higher baseline IOP value (HR: 1.11, p=0.03] and the use of a higher number of preoperative antiglaucomatous drug molecules (HR: 2.54, p=0.09). The cumulative probability of success was calculated as 94.6%, 90.1%, 85.7%, 82.1%, and 78.6% at three, 12, 24, 36, and 60 months, respectively. Conclusion: The success rate of trabectome was 67.3% at 59 months. A higher baseline IOP value and the use of a higher number of antiglaucomatous drug molecules were associated with an increased risk of further glaucoma surgery requirement.
