A partial-thickness 'scleral belt loop' for MicroShunt implant.

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
The purpose of this article is to introduce a new surgical technique for the PreserFloTM MicroShunt implant. This technique involves creating a partial-thickness scleral belt loop before repositioning the Tenon's capsule and the conjunctiva toward the limbus. The distal end of the device is passed under the lamellar belt of the sclera, but the tip remains open and not covered by the loop. With this surgical technique, the MicroShunt adheres perfectly to the scleral profile of all eyes. As a result, the device's end tip does not stress the Tenon's/conjunctival flap during postoperative eye movements, thereby minimizing conjunctival erosion and inflammation. This method is efficient, requiring very short additional time. Consequently, it can be seamlessly integrated into the standard MicroShunt implant procedure without incurring extra costs, ultimately trying to reduce the need for surgical revisions of the filtration bleb.
