Comparing corneal biomechanic changes among solo cataract surgery, microhook ab interno trabeculotomy and iStent implantation.
Article in Scientific reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery has expanded the surgical treatment options in glaucoma, particularly when combined with cataract surgery. It is clinically relevant to understand the associated postoperative changes in biomechanical properties because they are influential on the measurement of intraocular pressure (IOP) and play an important role in the pathogenesis of open-angle glaucoma (OAG). This retrospective case-control study included OAG patients who underwent cataract surgery combined with microhook ab interno trabeculotomy (µLOT group: 53 eyes of 36 patients) or iStent implantation (iStent group: 59 eyes of 37 patients) and 62 eyes of 42 solo cataract patients without glaucoma as a control group. Changes in ten biomechanical parameters measured with the Ocular Response Analyzer and Corneal Visualization Scheimpflug Technology (Corvis ST) at 3 and 6 months postoperatively relative to baseline were compared among the 3 groups. In all the groups, IOP significantly decreased postoperatively. In the µLOT and control groups, significant changes in Corvis ST-related parameters, including stiffness parameter A1 and stress‒strain index, indicated that the cornea became softer postoperatively. In contrast, these parameters were unchanged in the iStent group. Apart from IOP reduction, the results show variations in corneal biomechanical changes from minimally invasive glaucoma surgery combined with cataract surgery.
