Use of 3D visualization system in deep sclerectomy: preliminary results from a pilot study.
Article in BMC ophthalmology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveTo evaluate the application of three-dimensional (3D) visualization technology during non-penetrating glaucoma surgery (deep sclerectomy, DS), analyzing its advantages in terms of surgical ergonomics, operative precision, and educational potential.
methodsThe outcomes of a prospective series of 12 patients with open-angle glaucoma undergoing DS assisted by 3D technology were reported. An educational questionnaire was administered to ophthalmology trainees to rate the level of satisfaction on a 5-point Likert scale. Duration of surgery was compared to a previous cohort of patients undergoing DS using conventional optical microscope.
resultsSurgical procedures of 12 patients (6 male, 6 females, mean age 72,5 y.o.) undergone DS were reviewed. The application of 3D technology in DS demonstrated tangible advantages, including improved visualization of anatomical structures (trabecular meshwork, Schlemm's canal, Descemet's membrane), better postural comfort for the surgeon, and more effective sharing of the surgical field with the entire team. No cases of intraoperative perforation were observed. Median operative times were 45.0 min (IQR 4.3) in the 3D group and 44.6 min (IQR 5.1) in the conventional group (p = 0.78). A mean score of 4,23/5 was registered.
conclusionsThe integration of 3D visualization in DS represents a promising evolution, enhancing surgical precision and improving ergonomics. The educational benefits are particularly relevant in the academic setting. Controlled prospective studies are needed to confirm these findings in long-term clinical parameters.
