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

In this case series, we report the reversal of optic disc cupping in three adults following trabeculectomy. Two patients experienced asymptomatic low intraocular pressure (IOP) postoperatively, while the third patient had intermittently elevated IOP for a month. The reversal of cupping, a rare occurrence in adults, was confirmed through optic disc photography and the use of spectral domain-optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) imaging, which enhances the objectivity of these findings. Despite these changes in cup-to-disc ratio (C/D), there were no significant changes in visual field indices in any of the patients. This series is SD-OCT documented cases of cupping reversal in adults up to 2 years postoperatively.
