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

purposeTo assess and compare the risk for development of cystoid macula edema (CME) after glaucoma drainage device (GDD) implantation versus conventional trabeculectomy with mitomycin (trab) for glaucoma.

methodsRetrospective review of consecutive patients receiving trab or GDD implantation between 2016 and 2018. Inclusion criteria were availability of pre- and postoperative spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) of the macula. SD-OCT images were evaluated for presence of CME qualitatively, central subfield thickness (CST) and macular volume (MV).

results73 eyes could be included, 42 received trab and 31 GDD surgery. Eyes receiving trab on average had 0.8 ± 0.8 previous intraocular operations, while eyes with GDD implantation had 3.1 ± 1.9 (p < 0.001). Occurrence of postoperative CME was significantly more frequent after GDD implantation (6 out of 31 (19.4%)) than after trab (2 out of 42 eyes = 4.8%), (p = 0.049). Mean preoperative CST as well as MV was comparable in both groups (CST before trab: 282.7 ± 23.0 µm, CST before GDD 284.2 ± 27.3 µm, p = 0.287; MV before trab: 7.8 ± 1.1 mm

conclusionsIn real-life conditions, GDD surgery seems to be associated with a higher risk to develop CME when compared to conventional trabeculectomy. This information may be helpful for glaucoma surgeons to advise the patients on postoperative risks of surgery.
