1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Aims and background: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of MicroPulse Materials and methods: A retrospective study of 122 consecutive eyes of 99 glaucoma patients who received MP-TLT with a minimum of 12 months follow-up. The primary outcome was success at 12 months, defined as final IOP <18 mm Hg and either IOP reduction of >20% or any medication reduction, without any adverse events or secondary surgical interventions (SSIs) within 12 months. Results: Ninety-five eyes in 75 patients were treated with the original probe, and 27 eyes of 24 patients were treated with the revised probe. The mean total energy and fluence used were 113.6 joules (J) and 54.3 J/cm Conclusion and clinical significance: The revised probe for the MP3 device may result in an improved and longer-lasting IOP-lowering effect compared to the original probe, while maintaining an excellent safety profile.
