Iris Plateau Configuration With Secondary Pigment Dispersion: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Pigment dispersion (PD) and plateau iris configuration (PIC) are ocular conditions associated with increased intraocular pressure (IOP) and the development of glaucoma. PD involves the dispersion of pigment epithelium of the iris into the anterior chamber due to contact between the iris and zonular fibers, which subsequently blocks the trabecular meshwork and elevates the IOP. Anatomical variation in PIC narrows the anterior chamber angle. This case report aims to highlight a rare instance of concurrent PD secondary to PIC, conditions that are underreported despite their significant risk of glaucoma-related sequelae. A 64-year-old male presented with blurred vision, pigmented cells in the anterior chamber, and optic disc cupping. Ultrasound biomicroscopy indicated a closed angle with 360-degree anterior rotation of the ciliary body, absence of ciliary sulcus, and chaffing of the posterior iris with the lens capsule and zonules. Collectively, these findings indicated PD secondary to PIC. The condition was managed with phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation to address the dual pathology and reduce the risk of glaucoma. The co-occurrenceof PD and PIC necessitates vigilant monitoring and tailored therapeutic approaches to prevent irreversible optic nerve damage and vision loss. Additional studies are necessary to clarify the underlying mechanism and optimize diagnostic and treatment strategies for these complex ocular conditions. Early detection and collaborative management are essential in decreasing the risk of glaucoma and preserving visual function in affected individuals.
