Comparative effectiveness and safety of GATT with or without ABiC in patients with open-angle glaucoma.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 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
Background: This is the first comprehensive comparison between gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) and GATT combined with ab interno canaloplasty (ABiC) in patients with OAG. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) combined with ab interno canaloplasty (ABiC) with those of GATT alone in patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG). Design: This was a retrospective, comparative case series. Participants: Patients with primary open angle glaucoma who underwent GATT (27 eyes in Group 1) or GATT + ABiC (26 eyes in Group 2) were included. Methods: Outcomes including intraocular pressure (IOP), glaucoma medications, and surgical complications were analyzed. Main outcome measures: Surgical success was defined in terms of IOP and medication use as follows: (1) a preoperative IOP > 21 mmHg and a postoperative IOP ≤ 21 mmHg with at least a 20% reduction from baseline with (qualified success) or without (complete success) glaucoma medications or (2) a preoperative IOP < 21 mmHg while taking 3 or more glaucoma medications and a postoperative IOP ≤ 21 mmHg with a reduction of more than two medications (qualified success) or with no medications (complete success). Results: At 12 months, the mean IOP was 14.8 ± 2.2 mmHg in Group 1 and 16.6 ± 2.3 mmHg in Group 2 ( Conclusion: The GATT procedure, with or without ABiC, is safe and effective in decreasing the IOP and the number of antiglaucoma medications used.
