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: Tube shunts can be inserted into the anterior chamber, ciliary sulcus, or pars plana. Sulcus tube placement can be challenging. This report demonstrates three techniques for guidewire-assisted sulcus tube insertion. Observations: The first technique uses a needle inserted through a paracentesis 180-degrees across from the tube entry site and creates an ab-interno sclerotomy through which the guidewire is inserted by docking it into the needle bevel. The second technique involves inserting the guidewire into the eye via a paracentesis and using microforceps to retrieve it through a sclerotomy. The third technique uses forceps to insert the guidewire into a paracentesis 180° across from the planned tube entry site and dock it into a needle bevel that has been inserted into the sulcus. Each of these techniques provides a reliable and reproducible way to insert a tube into the sulcus. Conclusions and importance: Guidewire-assisted tube entry offers a promising solution in cases of difficult sulcus tube placement without substantial additional cost.
