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
purposeThis study aimed to evaluate the characteristics of laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI), including area size, location, and distance from the pupil center, using ImageJ software, and to explore their correlation with changes in anterior segment parameters observed through Pentacam imaging.
methodsThis retrospective study analyzed 29 eyes of 29 patients with angle-closure who underwent LPI between April 2023 and December 2024. Patients diagnosed with primary angle-closure glaucoma, primary angle closure, and high-risk primary angle-closure suspects were included. Anterior segment parameters were assessed pre- and post-LPI using Pentacam imaging. ImageJ software was used to analyze anterior segment photographs to assess LPI characteristics, including the area size, location, and distance from the center of the pupil.
resultsFollowing LPI, significant increases were observed in superior (0.93 to 1.00 mm), inferior (1.12 ± 0.20 to 1.26 ± 0.19 mm), temporal (1.23 ± 0.20 to 1.36 ± 0.17 mm), and nasal (1.0 to 1.06 mm) peripheral anterior chamber depths (ACD), anterior chamber volume (ACV) (74.1 ± 13.5 to 84.6 ± 10.8 mm
conclusionThe characteristics of the LPI, specifically the pupil-to-LPI area ratio and the LPI distance from the pupil, may significantly influence changes in anterior segment parameters. A small LPI area relative to the pupil area and excessively peripheral LPI locations may be associated with reduced treatment efficacy. These findings may highlight the importance of considering both pupil size and the precise positioning of the LPI to optimize therapeutic outcomes.
