Outcome of Combined Kahook Dual Blade Surgery and Deep Sclerectomy: Adverse Effects of Postsurgical Low Intraocular Pressure.
Article in Journal of current glaucoma practice. 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
Aim and background: This study aims to evaluate the hypothesis that combining minimally invasive Kahook Dual Blade (KDB) surgery and modified deep sclerectomy enhances the efficacy of reducing postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP). Case description: Outcomes were studied in two open-angle glaucoma patients who underwent combined KDB surgery and modified deep sclerectomy procedures. Results: Postsurgical observations in both cases revealed extensive hyphema and flattening of the bleb within 1 month. The efficacy in reducing IOP did not surpass that of patients treated with simple trabeculotomy. Conclusion: The combination of modified deep sclerectomy with internal excisional trabeculotomy may lead to postoperative hypotension and massive anterior chamber bleeding, potentially compromising final outcomes. Therefore, this approach is not recommended. Clinical significance: These findings highlight the importance of carefully considering surgical approaches to optimize patient outcomes in glaucoma management.
