Incidence and pre/post-treatment risk factors of glaucoma in Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease.
Article in International ophthalmology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeTo investigate the incidence and pre/post-treatment risk factors of glaucoma in patients with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease.
methodsData regarding secondary glaucoma were collected from the medical records of patients with VKH disease who were followed up at the uveitis service at Hiroshima University for more than 6 months. We examined the incidence of glaucoma and pre/post-treatment risk factors for glaucoma in patients with VKH disease.
resultsForty-nine patients with VKH disease were included in this study (31 women and 18 men). The mean age at onset was 50.4 ± 15.4 years and the mean length of follow-up was 40.7 ± 25.5 months. The most common initial treatment was pulse intravenous corticosteroid therapy (89.8%). Fifteen patients developed secondary glaucoma during follow-up. The median time of glaucoma onset from VKH development was 4.5 months (range 0-44 months). Disc swelling type as a pre-treatment factor (p = 0.089, hazard ratio = 7.268), worse final best corrected visual acuity (p = 0.099, odds ratio = 1.545), and cataract progression (p = 0.076, odds ratio = 7.886) as post-treatment factors showed trends for glaucoma development. The patients who progressed to the chronic recurrent stage had more complications including glaucoma.
conclusionSecondary glaucoma occurred in more than 30% of patients with VKH disease. The factors that showed a trend toward glaucoma development may reflect an association with delayed treatment initiation and prolonged ocular inflammation.
