Efficacy and safety of combined Kahook Dual Blade goniotomy with phacoemulsification in Chinese patients with primary open angle glaucoma.
Article in International journal of ophthalmology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
aimTo report the one-year surgical outcome Kahook Dual Blade goniotomy combined with phacoemulsification (KDB-Phaco) in Chinese patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG).
methodsThis is a retrospective study included 43 eyes of 28 Chinese POAG patients with cataract who accepted KDB-Phaco and followed-up for 12mo. Intraocular pressure (IOP), glaucoma medications and surgical complications were recorded. Success 1 and success 2 was defined as 5-21 mm Hg and 5-18 mm Hg, and success plus was determined if additional criteria of IOP reduction ≥20% from baseline was reached. A corrected IOP by adding 3 mm Hg for each medication was used to do correlation test. Cox's proportional hazards regression model was used to test the hazard ratio for factors associated with surgical success.
resultsAfter a 12-month follow up, the IOP decreased from 28.1±6.3 to 13.8±3.0 mm Hg (47.92% reduction,
conclusionKDB goniotomy is a safe and effective in the treatment for Chinese POAG patients. Preoperative VA and mean deviation may predict the surgical success.
