One-year outcomes of selective laser trabeculoplasty for open-angle glaucoma in Indian eyes.
Article in Indian journal of ophthalmology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeTo assess the effectiveness of selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) in Indian eyes with open-angle glaucoma (OAG). SETTINGS AND
designSingle-center, prospective, interventional study.
methodsPatients undergoing SLT from January 2014 to June 2018 for OAG were included in the study. Treatment-naive naive as well as patients on antiglaucoma medications (AGM) with suboptimal intraocular pressure (IOP) control were included. The main outcome measure was the percentage reduction in IOP. Complete success was defined as IOP reduction > 20% from baseline after 12 months or reduction in the number of AGM. Qualified success was defined as > 20% IOP reduction at 12 months with AGM. Secondary outcomes were occurrence of adverse events and factors predicting treatment outcomes.
resultsA total of 104 eyes of 62 Indian patients underwent SLT for OAG. Eighty-three (79.81%) eyes were treatment-naïve, and 21 (20.19%) eyes were on AGM. The median (IQR) baseline IOP was 20 (16-26) mmHg. At 12 months, the median IOP was 16 (4-19) mmHg, the median decrease in IOP was 4 (0-6.5) mmHg, and the percentage reduction in IOP was 17.42% (0%-30.76%). Maximum IOP reduction was noted at 12 months. Overall, success was achieved in 48 (46.15%) patients. Five eyes (4.8%) experienced minor SLT-related complications. Age, gender, prior use of AGM, type of OAG, and higher baseline IOP were not found to be predictive factors for treatment outcome.
conclusionSLT was found to be a relatively safe and effective procedure in Indian eyes with OAG.
