A single center experience of intraocular pressure control with glaucoma drainage device use in pediatric and adult patients.
Article in Japanese journal of 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
purposeThis retrospective cohort compared the cumulative probability of success for glaucoma drainage device (GDD) implantation in pediatric and adult patients. STUDY
designThis retrospective study enrolled adult and pediatric patients who had received a GDD between January 1, 1985 and December 31, 2017.
methodsKaplan-Meier method was used to estimate the cumulative probability of success in the pediatric and adult patients. Successful intraocular pressure (IOP) control was defined as (i) a 20% reduction from baseline and (ii) IOP>6 and <18. Inadequate IOP control and failure were defined as a violation of these two criteria over two consecutive visits. Cox proportional hazards models enabled assessing the influence of sex, GDD location, and GDD type on IOP control.
resultsA total of 425 adult eyes from 372 individuals and 41 pediatric eyes from 28 individuals were included. The median follow-up time was 55 months for adults and 87 months for children. Superior temporal GDD placement was most employed for both (p=0.16). Adults were more likely to receive a Baerveldt 350 (p=0.04) and children were more likely to receive an Ahmed S2 (p<0.001). Adults and children had a median survival time of 2.99 and 0.82, respectively, and did not have a statistically significant difference in GDD failure rate (p=0.18). Additionally, sex, GDD location, and GDD type did not affect the success rate.
conclusionsChildren and adults had a similar cumulative probability of success following GDD implantation. This study found that GDD type, GDD location, and glaucoma type did not influence the probability of successful IOP control.
