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

Purpose: To introduce a potential solution for failed glaucoma surgeries by proposing an optional surgical procedure in conjunction with the use of Healaflow (Anteis S.A., Geneva, Switzerland) as a spacer, which may potentially reduce the failure rate. Conclusion: For patients with a history of unsuccessful glaucoma surgeries and who are unsuitable candidates for tube shunt procedures or transscleral diode cyclophotocoagulation, an alternative option involves implanting the XEN45 stent in the inferior nasal region in conjunction with the use of subconjunctival Healaflow. This combined approach may provide a potential solution for managing glaucoma in these patients.
