1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) in patients with advanced glaucoma. Methods: Records of 46 patients with advanced glaucoma were reviewed retrospectively in this single-center chart review. The main outcome measure was surgical success; intra-ocular pressure (IOP) and IOP lowering medication use were secondary outcome measures. Success was defined as an IOP of 18 mmHg or lower (criterion A) or 14 mmHg or lower (criterion B) and one of the following: IOP reduction >30% from baseline on the same or fewer medications or IOP ≤ of baseline on fewer medications as compared to baseline. Results: Forty-seven eyes were included in the analysis. The average mean deviation was -17.5 ± 7.2 dB (range -8.0 to -33.0). The average follow-up was 6.8 months (range 3.2-22.3). Success at 6 months was 91% for criterion A and 75% for criterion B (n = 33). Mean IOP was reduced from 19.3 ± 6 mmHg (12-40) on 3.7 ± 1.4 medications to 13.2 ± 5.8 mmHg on 1.6 ± 1.4 medications at the 6 Conclusions: GATT is a viable surgical option in cases of advanced glaucoma. Careful patient selection and attentive post-operative management are imperative.
