XEN Gel Stent for Conjunctiva with Minimal Mobility Caused by Scleral Encircling: A Case Report.
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
This case report describes the successful use of a XEN gel stent for controlling intraocular pressure (IOP) in a patient who had previously undergone scleral encircling for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. The patient had very limited mobile conjunctiva due to scarring caused by the earlier surgery, which limited their options for glaucoma surgery. The XEN gel stent, a minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) procedure that does not require opening the conjunctiva, was implanted in the subconjunctival space using an ab interno approach. Postoperative blebs were imaged using anterior segment optical coherence tomography, and IOP was monitored over six months. This study found that the XEN gel stent effectively controlled the IOP, and there were no complications during or after surgery. This case report may expand the indication for the XEN gel stent, which could be considered a viable option for patients who have undergone scleral buckling and have limited mobile conjunctiva.
