Distribution of ultrasound cyclo plasty probe models in Chinese patients with glaucoma.
Article in International ophthalmology, 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
purposeTo investigate the distribution of ultrasound cyclo plasty (UCP) probe models in Chinese patients with glaucoma.
methodsPatients needing glaucoma surgery were recruited at Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center from January 2019 to December 2019. Patient demographics were recorded and analyzed. Visual acuity, intraocular pressure (IOP), retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), mean defect of visual field (MD), ocular axial length (AL) and horizontal corneal diameter (white to white, WTW) of eyes with glaucoma were measured. In addition, the UCP probe models were calculated using a nomogram tool and two ocular anatomical parameters: WTW and AL.
resultsA total of 1281 patients (2000 eyes) were included in the study, including 559 males (43.64%) and 722 females (56.36%). The age of the patients ranged from 18 to 91 years, with a mean age of 61.43 ± 12.21 years. IOP ranged from 22.0 to 60.0 mmHg, with a mean of 26.17 ± 3.52 mmHg. The mean AL and WTW were 22.96 ± 1.43 (ranging from 19.07 to 35.00) and 11.55 ± 0.50 (ranging from 9.6 to 13.7), respectively. According to the results calculated by the nomogram tool, Chinese patients' eyes mainly adapted to Model 12, with a percentage of 69.05%. Model 13 and Model 11 were suitable for 26.65% and 3.35% of the patients, respectively. A total of 0.95% of Chinese patients did not have a suitable probe model.
conclusionFor Chinese patients who needed glaucoma surgery, UCP probe models were mainly attributed to Model 12, followed by Model 13, and Model 11 was the least used.
