Risk factors for Baerveldt glaucoma drainage implantation for uveitic glaucoma.
Article in Scientific reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Uveitic glaucoma (UG) is sometimes intractable, including intricate interaction between intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation associated with inflammation and side effects of steroids. Based on the Tube Versus Trabeculectomy study in refractory glaucoma results in 2012, tube shunt surgeries have been performed for UG, but few reports have focused on UG. We retrospectively examined the surgical efficacy, complications, and risk factors in 62 eyes with UG that underwent Baerveldt glaucoma drainage device (BGD) implantation at Kumamoto University. The IOPs significantly dropped, and the mean number of glaucoma medications was reduced by more than two. Kaplan‒Meier survival curves were presented under 2 conditions: an IOP reduction of 20% and 6 ≤ IOP ≤ 18 mmHg (criterion A) or 6 ≤ IOP ≤ 15 mmHg (criterion B). In criterion A, the median survival times (MST) were 124 days (complete) and 997 days (qualified). In criterion B, the MST was 129 days (complete) and 867 days (qualified). The Cox hazard proportional model found that the hazard ratio was 0.170 for a history of cataract surgery (95% CI 0.0303-0.950) and 8.669 for systemic immunosuppressive therapy (95% CI 1.810-41.51). BGD implantation is effective for treating UG, but the presence of systemic treatment and the lens status should be considered.
