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: We aimed to compare the effects of Materials and methods: Between 2017 and 2022, 27 eyes of 24 children who underwent AbE-TLO, GATT, and AGV in our clinic for pediatric AG were retrospectively analyzed. Corneal dimensions, corneal thickness, axial length, and surgical technique were recorded. Baseline and postoperative follow-up IOP measurements and antiglaucomatous drops used were analyzed. Results: AbE-TLO was performed in 37% ( Conclusion: There was a significant decrease in IOP, along with a significant reduction in the usage of antiglaucomatous drugs, across all three primary surgical methods. No significant difference was detected regarding the reduction in IOP and the usage of antiglaucomatous medications. Clinical significance: Approximately, half of the patients with pediatric AG undergo surgery. However, the most appropriate surgical technique for AG remains unclear. Minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries, increasingly performed in recent years, now constitute a pivotal aspect of glaucoma surgical treatment. Thus, the main objective of the current research is to compare the impacts of AbE-TLO, GATT, and AGV implantation on IOP as the primary surgical method in pediatric AG.
