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: To determine the short-term outcomes of a modified Moorfields Safer Surgery System technique of trabeculectomy. Methods: This is a prospective interventional study. Trabeculectomy was performed according to the author's modification of Moorfields Safer Surgery System. This method allows titrating the opening pressure of trabeculectomy by varying the side cuts, varying the ostium size, and adjusting the tightness of the sutures. Forty-four eyes of 43 patients were included. Main outcome measures include postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP), incidence of intra and postoperative complications, and success up to 6 months after surgery. Results: The mean preoperative and postoperative IOP at 6 months were 20.97 ± 7.93 mmHg and 12.69 ± 4.76 mmHg, respectively ( Conclusion: The authors' modification of the Moorfields Safer Surgery System technique may allow the surgeon to optimize aqueous flow through trabeculectomy while mitigating complications.
