Acute Angle Closure in an 18-Year-Old Due to Plateau Iris.

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.
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
In this case report, we describe a rare case of acute angle closure in an 18-year-old African-American female, attributed to plateau iris. The patient had no significant medical or ocular history and presented with high right-eye pressure, headache, and blurred vision. Ocular examination revealed findings consistent with acute angle closure, with gonioscopy confirming superior iris insertion anterior to Schwalbe's line and a "double hump" sign. Ultrasound biomicroscopy confirmed plateau iris. Treatment involved pharmacological management and bilateral peripheral laser iridoplasty. This case underscores the importance of considering plateau iris syndrome in the differential diagnosis of acute angle closure, even in younger patients, and highlights the role of early diagnosis and appropriate intervention in preventing vision loss.
