Plasma Rich in Growth Factors as an Adjuvant Agent in Non-Penetrating Deep Sclerectomy.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the utility and safety of plasma rich in growth factors immunosafe eye drops (is-ePRGF) in the postoperative treatment of non-penetrating deep sclerectomy (NPDS).
methodsThis is a case-control study in patients with open-angle glaucoma. Group one (control) was not treated with is-ePRGF, while group two (is-ePRGF) was treated (four times a day for four months). Postoperative evaluations were performed at one day, one month, three months and six months. The main outcomes were: intraocular pressure (IOP), microcysts in blebs with AS-OCT and the number of hypotensive eye drops.
resultsPreoperatively, group one (
conclusionsTopical is-ePRGF seems to reduce IOP and the rate of complications in the medium term after NPDS, so it can be considered as a possible safe adjuvant to achieve surgical success.
