Comparison of corneal endothelial cell density reduction between primary open-angle glaucoma and pseudo-exfoliation glaucoma patients at 3 years after Ex-Press® surgery.
Article in International ophthalmology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeWe compared corneal endothelial cell (CED) loss after Ex-Press (EXP) surgery between patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and pseudo-exfoliation glaucoma (PEX). PATIENTS AND
methodsThis was a single-facility retrospective study. We included glaucoma patients who had undergone EXP surgery and were followed up > 3 years. We measured the CED before and after (at 12, 24, and 36 months) EXP surgery by noncontact specular microscopy and compared the means of the CED values and CED survival ratios after EXP surgery by paired t-test.
resultsWe included 119 eyes that underwent EXP surgery, including 60 POAG eyes and 59 PEX eyes. In the POAG group, the mean CED decreased from 2389 ± 321 at baseline to 2230 ± 424 cells/mm
conclusionsEXP surgery decreased the corneal endothelial cell populations in PEX patients faster than POAG patients.
