Emerging glaucoma treatments: are we seeing an improvement in adherence?
Article in Expert review of ophthalmology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Introduction: Non-adherence to glaucoma medication and poor follow-up is a global health concern. Areas covered: Glaucoma remains one of the largest causes of irreversible blindness worldwide. Traditional treatment guidelines suggest topical eye drop medication as first line therapy followed by addition of supplementary medications before proceeding to more invasive glaucoma surgeries. Unfortunately, poor glaucoma self-management remains high, leading to disease progression and blindness. Recent advancements in the field of pharmacotherapies, surgeries, and behavioral approaches have taken aim at increasing support for glaucoma self-management. We review the current and emerging approaches towards glaucoma management, with the exception of bleb-based surgical approaches, to investigate if they have had an impact on adherence. Literature searches were conducted via MEDLINE (PubMed), Embase (Elsevier), Cochrane Library (Wiley), and Preprints from January 1 Expert opinion: The ability to offer patients a multitude of choices enables patients to tailor their glaucoma treatment to their values and lifestyle. Offering personalized patient education and coaching to support chronic glaucoma self-management would better enable patient engagement in whichever treatment path is chosen. Currently, literature regarding the impact of these new advancements on treatment engagement is lacking; this field is ripe for additional intervention and assessment.
