Effect of a Pericardium Graft Inserted Adjacent to the Endplate in the Ahmed Glaucoma Valve Implantation.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The surface area of encapsulation around the Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) endplate is a critical factor in the surgical outcome as it is associated with the degree of IOP reduction. We investigated the surgical outcome of AGV implantation with an additional pericardium graft inserted adjacent to the endplate, with the intent of expanding the surface area of encapsulation. We enrolled 92 patients (92 eyes) who underwent AGV implantation. Of them, 50 patients underwent conventional surgery (termed the without-expansion group), and 42 received an additional an 8 × 6 mm pericardium graft inserted adjacent to the AGV endplate at the sub-Tenon's space (with-expansion). The hypertensive phase was classified as mild (>21 mmHg), moderate (>25 mmHg), and severe (>30 mmHg). Six months post-surgery, the with-expansion group exhibited a lower IOP (14.90 ± 4.27 mmHg) and lower peak IOP (22.29 ± 4.95 mmHg) than the without-expansion group (17.56 ± 4.88 mmHg and 25.06 ± 6.18 mmHg,
