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 evaluate the outcomes of patients who underwent GATT. PATIENTS AND

methodsThirty-one eyes of 31 patients undergoing GATT were investigated with a diagnosis of pseudoexfoliation glaucoma. Medical history, demographic data, diagnosis, intraocular pressure (IOP), anti-glaucomatous medications, cup/disc ratio, and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) data were recorded. IOP measurements, complications, anti-glaucomatous medications, and a necessity for surgical interventions were documented postoperatively at various time points.

resultsThe average age was 67.6 years, while the average follow-up duration was 17.7 months. All cases exhibited pseudo-exfoliation (PEX). The initial IOP averaged 23.4 ± 7.8 mmHg, while the mean IOP at the final follow-up was 13.3 ± 2.9 mmHg. At baseline, the median number of active anti-glaucomatous medications was 3 (IQR:2), whereas, at the final follow-up, it decreased to 0 (IQR:1.75). Seventeen cases (54.8%) were deemed a complete success, while 11 cases (35.4%) were considered a partial success, and 3 cases (9.6%) failed.

conclusionThe distinctiveness of our study stems from implementing 360-degree trabeculotomy in all cases, a pioneering approach within the field. The study concluded that gonioscopy-assisted 360-degree suture trabeculotomy should be prioritized as the initial surgical option for patients with pseudoexfoliation glaucoma.
