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

Purpose: To perform a meta-analysis to compare the efficacy of selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) in phakic and pseudophakic eyes. Methods: Scopus, Embase, PubMed, and gray literature were searched for studies comparing SLT outcomes in phakic and pseudophakic patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) or ocular hypertension (OHT). The mean change in intraocular pressure was compared using a standardized mean difference (SMD) meta-analysis (RevMan 5.4.1). Begg's funnel plots and Egger's test were used to assess publication bias. Results: Eleven studies with 1058 eyes (323 pseudophakic and 735 phakic) were identified. There was no statistically significant difference in the observed efficacy of SLT between pseudophakic and phakic eyes (SMD = -0.10; 95% confidence interval = -0.24, 0.03; Conclusions: Our pooled and subgroup analysis revealed no significant difference in SLT response between the two populations. Our results support SLT as a viable treatment option for patients with OAG or OHT regardless of pseudophakic status.
