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

Five cases of transient anterior subcapsular vacuolar lens opacities following trabeculectomy using a dispersive ophthalmic viscosurgical device (OVD) performed by the same surgeon were reviewed at Shimane University Hospital from February to June 2024. All cases presented with anterior vacuolar subcapsular lens opacities observed seven days after surgery, which gradually resolved without specific interventions. Detailed surgical records and clinical outcomes were collected, and the findings suggest that these opacities, characterized by their transient and vacuolar appearance, should be recognized as an early complication of trabeculectomy, potentially linked to the use of dispersive OVDs.
