Short-Term Effect of Micropulse Transscleral Laser Therapy on Intraocular Pressure in Untreated Fellow Eyes of Glaucoma Patients: Preliminary Results.
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. Cited by 1 paper.
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
It has been observed that an intraocular pressure (IOP) altering intervention in one eye is followed by a consensual response in the untreated fellow eye. The underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Involvement of neuronal, cytokine, and hormonal regulation of aqueous humor dynamics, as well as improved treatment adherence or systemic absorption of topically administered medical compounds, have been suggested. Our aim was to investigate the short-term effects of unilateral micropulse transscleral laser therapy on IOP in the fellow eye. All medical records of glaucoma patients who underwent micropulse transscleral laser therapy in a tertiary referral center between May 2019 and February 2023 were collected and analyzed. We found a significant reduction in IOP in the treated eyes, indicating successful treatment. In the fellow eyes, despite not having changed any of the pharmacological IOP-reducing therapies, a significant reduction in IOP from 17.0 ± 5.1 mmHg to 13.5 ± 4.4 mmHg (
