1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 the surgical outcomes of patients with primary congenital glaucoma who underwent gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy.

methodsThis retrospective, noncomparative, interventional study included consecutive patients with primary congenital glaucoma with uncontrolled intraocular pressure undergoing gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy between January 2017 and January 2020. The included participants were followed up for at least 24 months, and only one surgeon performed all the procedures. The number of glaucoma medications, pre- and postoperative intraocular pressure, treatment extension (in quadrants), surgical complications, and any associated events or interventions were documented.

resultsThis study included 13 eyes from 10 patients (mean age, 4.5 ± 3.2 years; range, 3 months to 10 years). After a 24-month follow-up, the mean intraocular pressure significantly decreased from 26.1 ± 3.7 to 11.8 ± 2.5 mmHg (p<0.001). The mean number of glaucoma medications was reduced from 3.3 ± 0.5 to 0.85 ± 1.0 (p<0.001). At the end of the follow-up interval, all eyes (13 out of 13) had an intraocular pressure between 7 and 15 mmHg. In 11 of 13 eyes (84.6%), gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy was performed in all quadrants (360º). The most frequent postoperative complication was transitory (self-limited) hyphema (7 out of 13 eyes [53.8%]). No sight-threatening adverse events occurred during the entire follow-up period.

conclusionsThe 2-year follow-up results indicated gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy as an efficient and safe option for primary congenital glaucoma treatment with minimal postoperative complications.
