Article in Clinical ophthalmology (Auckland, N.Z.), 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
Purpose: We compared the corneal endothelial cell loss between trabeculectomy (Trab) and Ex-Press Patients and Methods: This was a single-facility retrospective study. We analyzed the cases of patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and pre-operative IOP ≤ 21 mmHg who had undergone Trab or EXP surgery and were followed for >3 years. Noncontact specular microscopy was used to determine the corneal endothelial cell density (CED) before and after Trab or EXP surgery. We measured the CED at 12, 24, and 36 months post-surgery. We compared the CED values and CED survival ratio after both surgeries using paired t-tests. Results: We included 39 eyes that underwent Trab and 36 eyes that underwent EXP surgery. In the Trab group, the mean CED value had decreased from 2333 ± 399 at baseline to 2066 ± 587 cells/mm2 after 3 years. In the EXP group, the mean CED value had decreased from 2320 ± 393 at baseline to 2229 ± 460 cells/mm Conclusion: Compared to trabeculectomy, Ex-Press
