Highlighting the limited efficacy of gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculectomy in Fuchs uveitis syndrome: a case series.
Article in BMC ophthalmology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundThis study aimed to investigate the outcomes of gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculectomy (GATT) surgery in patients with Fuchs' uveitis syndrome (FUS) related glaucoma. CASE PRESENTATION: The clinical and surgical records of 4 FUS patients who underwent GATT surgery between 2021 and 2023 were retrospectively reviewed. The preoperative process, clinical course under medical treatment, postoperative clinical course, intraocular pressures (IOP), glaucoma medication requirements, need for additional surgeries, visual outcomes, and surgical success results were evaluated for each patient GATT surgery was performed as the first intervention for glaucoma control in FUS patients under 50 years of age with IOP above 20 mm Hg despite multiple different medications. The average follow-up period after GATT surgery was 12 months. Despite reaching the maximum level of antiglaucomatous treatment in any of the patients, the target IOP was not achieved. On average, 6 months later, mitomycin-C trabeculectomy (MMC-trab) was performed as a conventional surgical option in three of the patients, and diode laser cyclophotocoagulation was applied to one patient with poor visual prognosis.
conclusionsIn FUS, which causes low-grade inflammation, has a low likelihood of synechial formation, and relatively affects a younger age group, GATT surgery, a minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) method, was considered a good alternative as an initial surgical option. However, it was observed that the surgical success was limited.
