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

Primary congenital glaucoma (PCG) is a challenging condition requiring early surgical intervention to prevent visual impairment. Gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) is a novel minimally invasive procedure that presents a promising alternative for the management of childhood glaucoma, utilizing either a microcatheter or suture (e.g., 5-0 prolene). We present a case of a three-year-old male from consanguineous parents diagnosed with bilateral PCG, who underwent suture-GATT with 5-0 prolene in his left eye. A six-month postoperative follow-up showed no complications and good control of intraocular pressure (IOP) following the procedure. By showing good IOP control over a mid-term follow-up in a Bangladeshi patient, this case demonstrates the efficacy of suture-GATT in treating pediatric glaucoma.
