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

To determine the efficacy and safety of selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) in patients with uveitic glaucoma, we retrospectively evaluated 17 eyes from 13 consecutive uveitic glaucoma cases who were treated with SLT due to inadequate interocular pressure (IOP) control despite glaucoma medical therapy. The mean IOP was significantly decreased from 28.4 ± 6.50 mmHg to 17.3 ± 9.4 mmHg at baseline, and 6 months after SLT, respectively (P < 0.0001). There was no significant increase in inflammation or prednisolone dosage following SLT. We compared the success group, which demonstrated successful IOP reduction after 6 months of SLT, to the other failure group. The success group had shorter uveitis duration (1.37 ± 0.41 vs. 1.97 ± 0.80 years, P = 0.032) and lower baseline IOP (25.5 ± 5.09 vs. 33.7 ± 5.57 mmHg, P = 0.035). This study found that SLT had a positive IOP-lowering effect and was safe in patients with uveitic glaucoma who had not responded to medical treatment.
