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 describe the outcomes of inferior hemisphere 180° gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (hemi-GATT) in patients with moderate-severe stage primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).
methodsThis single center, retrospective study identified patients with POAG who had undergone combined inferior hemi-GATT with phacoemulsification. Patients with moderate-severe staged POAG were included in the study. Outcome measures included surgical success, intraocular pressure (IOP), number of topical IOP-lowering drops, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), visual field mean deviation (MD) and complications. Success was defined using two criteria: Criterion A (IOP <17 mmHg and >20% reduction) and Criterion B (IOP <12 mmHg and >20% reduction).
resultsOne hundred-twelve eyes of 112 patients were included in this study. Of these, 91 patients were followed for 24 months or greater to assess endpoint surgical success. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis for Criterion A demonstrated a 64.8% probability of success without topical IOP-lowering therapy (complete success) and a 93.4% probability of success with or without topical IOP-lowering therapy (qualified success). Probabilities of complete and qualified success using Criterion B were 26.4% and 30.8%, respectively. IOP reduction from baseline (21.9 ± 5.8 mmHg) to 24-month follow-up (13.6 ± 3.9 mmHg) was 37.9% for the overall cohort. The most common complication was transient hyphema, which occurred in 25.9% (29 of 112) of patients. All cases of hyphema resolved spontaneously.
conclusionsCombined hemi-GATT with phacoemulsification was associated with favorable outcomes and a low complication rate in this study of patients with moderate-severe POAG. Further studies are required comparing hemi-GATT to the 360° approach.
