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

The advent of minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) has expanded the treatment options available for glaucoma by providing options for reducing intraocular pressure without the serious complication profile associated with incisional glaucoma surgery. MIGS devices aim to enhance aqueous outflow through the trabecular pathway or to bypass this pathway with drainage of fluid into the suprachoroidal or subconjunctival spaces. Having a wide range of glaucoma treatment options available helps tailor treatment to patients' individual intraocular pressure targets and aetiologies of glaucoma. This review will describe the categories and mechanisms of MIGS, comment on their relative efficacies, safety data, advantages and limitations and explore potential future changes in the glaucoma treatment paradigm in relation to MIGS.
