PreserFlo Microshunt for the management of intraocular pressure elevation in iridocorneal endothelial syndrome.
Article in American journal of ophthalmology case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Purpose: To report on a case of angle-closure glaucoma secondary to iridocorneal endothelial (ICE) syndrome effectively managed with the PreserFlo Microshunt. Observations: We report successful implantation of a PreserFlo Microshunt in a 57-year-old patient with secondary angle-closure glaucoma in the context of ICE syndrome. Following failure of medical therapy to adequately control intraocular pressure (IOP), the patient was consented for surgical intervention and underwent combined cataract surgery and PreserFlo Microshunt implantation. IOP at the last post-operative follow-up (5 months) was 12 mmHg with the patient on brinzolamide/timolol maleate (Azarga®). We report no complications in the post-operative period. Conclusions and importance: The PreserFlo Microshunt may be a promising option for patients with ICE syndrome who fail medical therapy. Implantation of this device was well tolerated in the presented case.
