Influence of suture thickness on clinical outcomes in gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy: a comparative analysis of 5-0 and 6-0 polypropylene sutures.
Article in International ophthalmology, 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
purposeTo investigate the clinical results of Gonioscopy-Assisted Transluminal Trabeculotomy (GATT) performed with 5-0 or 6-0 polypropylene sutures and whether it makes a difference in anterior chamber (AC) morphology.
methodsThe file records of patients with primary open-angle glaucoma or pseudoexfoliation glaucoma who underwent GATT with 5-0 or 6-0 polypropylene sutures were reviewed. Patients were divided into two groups (GATT with 5-0 polypropylene suture: Group 1 vs. GATT with 6-0 polypropylene suture: Group 2). The clinical results of GATT, intraocular pressure (IOP) values, and parameters measured with Pentacam HR Scheimpflug camera system including anterior chamber angle (ACA), anterior chamber depth (ACD), anterior chamber volume (ACV), central corneal thickness (CCT), and pupil diameter (PD) of two groups at preoperative period, postoperative 1st, 3rd, and 6th months were compared.
resultsA total of 41 patients were included in the study (Group 1: n = 21, Group 2: n = 20). Approximately 60% reduction in IOP was detected in both groups and the rate of IOP reduction at each visit was similar between the two groups (p > 0.05 in all). It was determined that there were no differences in AC parameters including ACA, ACD, ACV, CCT, and PD at any visit in either group. (p > 0.05 in all). Also, there was no significant difference in the complication rates between the two groups.
conclusionIt was observed that there were no significant differences in terms of success rate, complication rate, and the effect on AC morphology between performing GATT with 5-0 or 6-0 polypropylene sutures.
