A Case of Intraocular Pressure Elevation Secondary to Pupillary Occlusion.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
We report a case of acute intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation caused by pupillary occlusion in a Japanese man in his 90s. The patient presented with a left frontal headache and vomiting, and ophthalmologic evaluation revealed marked IOP elevation, a shallow anterior chamber, and pupillary membrane formation obscuring the lens. While anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) was unable to confirm the lens position, ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) clearly demonstrated the absence of lens displacement or intraocular mass. Yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) laser membranotomy promptly deepened the anterior chamber and lowered IOP, followed by successful cataract surgery. Differentiation from pupillary seclusion, another cause of secondary angle closure, is critical, as it requires distinct therapeutic approaches. This case highlights the diagnostic and therapeutic considerations in managing rare causes of acute glaucoma and serves as an instructive example for ophthalmology trainees.
