Magnetically actuated glaucoma drainage device for regulating intraocular pressure after implantation.
Article in Microsystems & nanoengineering, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The key risk factor for glaucoma is increased intraocular pressure (IOP). Glaucoma drainage devices implanted in the eye can reduce IOP and thus stop disease progression. However, most devices currently used in clinical practice are passive and do not allow for postsurgical IOP control, which may result in serious complications such as hypotony (i.e., excessively low IOP). To enable noninvasive IOP control, we demonstrate a novel, miniature glaucoma implant that will enable the repeated adjustment of the hydrodynamic resistance after implantation. This is achieved by integrating a magnetic microvalve containing a micropencil-shaped plug that is moved using an external magnet, thereby opening or closing fluidic channels. The microplug is made from biocompatible poly(styrene-
