Corneal endothelium in successfully operated primary congenital glaucoma eyes.
Article in International ophthalmology, 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
purposeTo report on specular microscopy findings in eyes operated for primary congenital glaucoma (PCG) compared to age-matched normal children.
methodsThe study was conducted on 80(38 right,47.5%) eyes of 56(40 males,71.4%) children operated upon for PCG, 26(15 right,57.7%) fellow eyes of 26 (17 males,65.4%) children with PCG and 42 normal eyes of 42 (17 males) normal children (between January 2007 and July 2020). Complete ophthalmological assessment was followed by specular microscopy. Data were compared between the 3 groups of eyes.
resultsThe mean ± standard deviation age of the study children with PCG and operated eyes, children with PCG with fellow eyes and control children was 9.1 ± 2.8,8.2 ± 2.6and8.9 ± 2.3years respectively(p = 0.677,p = 0.186,p = 0.205). There was a statistically significant difference between the operated eyes and the fellow eyes in the cell density(CD)(p < 0.001), coefficient of variation(CV)(p = 0.002), hexagonality(Hex)(p < 0.001), number of cells analysed(Num)(p < 0.001), average cell size(Ave)(p < 0.001), maximal cell size(Max)(p = 0.0005), and standard deviation(SD)(p < 0.001), between the operated eyes and the normal eyes in the CD(p < 0.001), CV(p < 0.001), Hex(p < 0.001), Num(p < 0.001), pachymetry (Pach)(p = 0.0005), Ave(p < 0.001), Max(p < 0.001), minimal cell size (Min)(p = 0.0001) and SD(p < 0.001), and between the fellow eyes and the normal eyes in the CD(p = 0.0002), Num(p = 0.0002) and Ave(p = 0.0006). There were no statistically significant differences between specular microscopy findings in eyes with and without Haab's stria operated for PCG.
conclusionThe corneal endothelium is significantly affected in eyes operated for PCG and to a less extent in their unoperated fellow eyes. Large corneal diameters spread the endothelial cells over a large surface bringing about a reduction of the cell density and increase in the average cell size.
