Management of Expected Intraocular Pressure (IOP) Elevation During Prolonged Steep Trendelenburg Positioning: A Case Report and Literature Review.
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
This article presents a case of intraocular pressure (IOP) assessment and perioperative management in a patient with primary open-angle glaucoma undergoing a prolonged surgical procedure in steep Trendelenburg (ST) positioning. The patient was administered prophylactic extended-release oral acetazolamide prior to an uncomplicated cystectomy to mitigate the anticipated IOP elevation associated with the surgical positioning. The patient's IOP was monitored postoperatively at a clinic visit, where it remained stable at 11 mmHg in the right eye and 9 mmHg in the left eye with preserved visual acuity and no evidence of glaucomatous progression on retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and visual field testing. In addition, a review of the existing literature on perioperative IOP management in glaucoma patients undergoing ST procedures was conducted. While prior reports have explored alternative pharmacologic interventions, this case highlights the successful use of acetazolamide as a prophylactic strategy for maintaining IOP control in a primary open-angle glaucoma patient.
