Which is More Effective and Safer? Comparison of Propensity Score-Matched Microhook Ab Interno Trabeculotomy and iStent Inject.
Article in Ophthalmology and therapy, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
introductionThe purpose of this study was to compare the surgical outcomes between ab interno trabeculotomy (LOT) and iStent inject W implantation (iStent) both combined with cataract surgery, matching the background factors including age, intraocular pressure (IOP), medication score, central corneal thickness (CCT), and axial length.
methodsA total of 100 eyes from 75/79 patients with primary open-angle glaucoma were included in the LOT/iStent groups. The background factors were matched between the two groups using the propensity score.
resultsThere were no significant differences in age, IOP, medication score, CCT, and axial length, preoperatively. The postoperative medication scores were 1.3 ± 1.2 and 1.2 ± 1.2 in the LOT and iStent groups. The postoperative IOPs were 12.8 ± 2.8 and 13.1 ± 2.4 mmHg in the LOT and iStent groups, respectively. The changes in the medication score were - 0.64 ± 1.4 and - 0.44 ± 1.6 in the LOT and iStent groups, respectively. The changes in the IOP were - 2.1 ± 3.3 and - 1.5 ± 3.0 mmHg in the LOT and iStent groups, respectively. These values were not significantly different between the two groups. The postoperative IOP and changes in the IOP were significantly associated with preoperative IOP and CCT. There was no significant difference in the occurrence of postoperative complications (hyphema, 11.0% and 6.0%, and transient ocular hypertension, 8.0% and 5.0%, in the LOT and iStent groups, respectively).
conclusionLOT and iStent have similar surgical outcomes with sufficient safety. Postoperative IOP was significantly associated with preoperative IOP and CCT in both groups.
