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

This study compared the effectiveness and safety of 120-degree (nasal) and 240-degree (bilateral) incisions in Tanito Microhook Trabeculotomy (TMH) combined with cataract surgery in patients with open-angle glaucoma. From a pool of 185 eyes, 67 eyes from 67 subjects were selected for each incision group using propensity score matching to align age, sex, glaucoma type, and preoperative intraocular pressure (IOP). The study found that preoperative IOP, initially 18.6 mmHg in both groups, decreased to 13.2 mmHg in the nasal group and 12.8 mmHg in the bilateral group 12 months postoperatively, representing reductions of 29% and 31%, respectively. Similarly, medication scores decreased from 3.4 to 2.7 in the nasal group and from 3.1 to 2.5 in the bilateral group. Notably, the bilateral incision group exhibited a significantly higher hyphema red blood cell score compared to the nasal group (
