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

A 74-year-old Japanese woman with a history of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) in both eyes underwent PreserFlo MicroShunt (PFM) (Osaka, Japan: Santen Pharmaceutical, Co., Ltd.) implantation two years prior. Despite slit-lamp examination and standard anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) evaluations, the detailed condition of the stents was unclear. By using raster scanning and three-dimensional (3D) AS-OCT imaging, stent deformation and displacement were clearly identified, including a C-shaped deformation in the right eye. This type of deformation has rarely been reported and may result from compression by surrounding scar tissue. AS-OCT is widely known to be useful in perioperative evaluation of PFM, but our experience suggests that the addition of 3D imaging significantly enhances its utility in assessing the precise condition of the stent postoperatively. In this case, we were able to gain valuable insights into the stent placement, which may aid in future perioperative management of PFM complications.
