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

backgroundSelective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) has been shown to be a safe and effective method for lowering intraocular pressure in open-angle glaucoma. This study aims to analyze research trends in glaucoma management using SLT through a bibliometric analysis.

methodsThe data for the study were gathered from the Web of Science Core Collection. We employed VOSviewer (version 1.6.18) to analyze and visualize information concerning countries, institutions, journals, and co-cited journals, journal co-citations, funding agencies, and keywords.

resultsAs of November 2024, a total of 386 original and review articles were included. The USA had the highest number of relevant publications, totaling 129. The University of Hong Kong was the leading institution with 15 publications. The Journal of Glaucoma (IF = 2.0) ranked first with 58 articles published and being the most cited journal. The United States Department of Health and Human Services was the top funding institution. The most frequently used keywords, in descending order, were "selective laser trabeculoplasty," "glaucoma," "intraocular pressure," "ocular hypertension," and "open-angle glaucoma."

conclusionThe research demonstrates SLT efficacy in reducing intraocular pressure and controlling open-angle glaucoma as a non-invasive therapeutic alternative to eye drops. This thorough overview provides important insights and highlights existing research trends.
