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: The aim of this study was to evaluate ab interno trabeculotomy outcomes without phacoemulsification. Methods: This retrospective study evaluated 118 eyes of patients aged 18 and above who underwent ab interno trabeculotomy between December 2017 and August 2022. When surgeries were performed in both eyes, only the eye undergoing the initial surgery was evaluated. Prior to and after surgery, the intraocular pressure (IOP) and mean number of IOP-lowering medications were compared. An IOP of ≤21 mmHg (A) and ≤18 mmHg (B) along with a ≥20% reduction in the preoperative IOP was defined as survival. Cases that required reoperation for glaucoma were defined as surgical failure. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to evaluate the survival rates. A Cox proportional hazards model was used to analyze the preoperative factors that influenced survival rates. Results: At 36 months postoperatively, the 13.4 ± 2.8 mmHg average IOP was significantly decreased from the preoperative 23.5 ± 9.8 mmHg value ( Conclusion: Utilization of ab interno trabeculotomy effectively lowered the IOP and reduced the number of IOP-lowering medications. Patients with higher preoperative IOP exhibited better postoperative outcomes.
