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

In this retrospective case-control study, we aimed to investigate the mid- to long-term outcomes and factors involved in minimally invasive glaucoma surgery using the Kahook Dual Blade. Of the 229 cases since 2018 in which the dual blades were used for glaucoma surgery at the Tenri Hospital, 133 eyes of 98 patients who followed up for more than 3 months were included. Intraocular pressure (IOP), number of drops score, and need for reoperation were evaluated on day 1 and at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months postoperatively. Intraocular pressure spikes occurred in 25 patients postoperatively (18.8%), occurring at approximately 4.5 days (1-10.25). The preoperative number of eye drops used and ocular axial length were found to be associated with the occurrence of spikes (OR = 1.45, 95% CI 1.02-2.06; P = 0.025 and OR = 1.41, 95% CI 0.98-1.25; P = 0.072, respectively). At the 12-month mark, no significant relationship was found between the presence of spikes or incisional extent scores and the amount of change in IOP and number of drops scores. Patients with severe visual field impairment, high preoperative IOP and drop scores, and long ocular axial length may require more frequent follow-ups after surgery to check for spikes.
