Clinical and epidemiological features of secondary glaucoma in a Mexican Tertiary Ophthalmology Hospital.
Observational study 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 determine the prevalence and types of secondary glaucoma in adult patients in a Mexican Tertiary Ophthalmology Hospital.
methodsObservational, cross-sectional, descriptive, and retrospective study in patients over 18 years of age diagnosed with secondary glaucoma in the period from January to June 2024. A non-probabilistic sampling was carried out within the established period, selecting patients with secondary glaucoma. The analysis included descriptive statistics of central tendency (mean, median, and mode) and dispersion (range, standard deviation) for numerical variables, as well as tables and/or graphs for categorical variables.
resultsA total of 2390 records were analyzed, of which 987 corresponded to subsequent patients. A final sample of 1403 first-time patients was obtained, comprising 208 cases of secondary glaucoma (14.83%). The most frequent cause of secondary glaucoma was secondary to neovascularization (37.98%), in order of frequency, intraocular surgery (19.23%), corneal transplant (12.50%), ocular inflammation (10.10%), pseudoexfoliation syndrome (8.65%), ocular trauma (4.33%), pathologies associated with the lens (3.37%), other causes (1.44%), pigment dispersion syndrome and associated with corticosteroids (each 0.96%), finally associated with tumors (0.48%). The prevalence was 50% in women and 50% in men.
conclusionOur results, although not representative of the entire population, offer valuable exploration for future research. Our database, as a national referral hospital for glaucoma cases, provides a robust and relevant source of data for understanding this condition. The findings of this study can be used to inform future research on secondary glaucoma and potentially improve diagnosis and treatment strategies for patients with this condition.
