Analysis of resurgeries following primary glaucoma surgical intervention in a tertiary care center.
Observational study in Indian journal of ophthalmology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 analyze the demographic characteristics, causes, risk factors, and outcomes of resurgeries following primary glaucoma surgery.
methodsThis retrospective observational study analyzed medical records of patients who underwent resurgeries following primary glaucoma surgeries conducted from January 1, 2018, to December 31, 2020. The investigation included an assessment of preoperative risk factors, reasons prompting resurgery (such as complications or failure), types of interventions, and their respective outcomes.
resultsOut of 1147 eyes subjected to primary surgeries, 30 eyes (2.6%) necessitated resurgery within the first year, at a mean interval of 4.2 ± 3.4 months. The resurgery rate for trabeculectomy was 3.3% (13/389), 1.5% (9/592) for phaco-trabeculectomy, and 4.8% (8/166) for tube surgeries. Multivariate analysis identified male gender and higher preoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) as significant risk factors. Uveitic glaucoma (12.1%), traumatic glaucoma (11.1%), and eyes with prior vitreoretinal surgeries (8.5%) exhibited the highest resurgery rates. Early postoperative resurgeries (1-3 months) were predominantly due to surgical complications, while late resurgeries (>3 months) were attributed to primary surgery failure. Resurgeries following trabeculectomy were primarily driven by surgical failure (61.5%), while complications played a major role in phaco-trabeculectomy (66.6%) and tube surgeries (87.5%).
conclusionWe observed an overall resurgery rate of 2.6%, with higher resurgery rates in tube surgeries compared to filtering surgeries. Reasons for resurgery in the early period were complications and those that occurred late were due to surgical failure. Male gender and elevated preoperative IOP were significant risk factors for resurgery.
