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

Purpose: To investigate outcomes of interventional glaucoma therapy with canaloplasty in early glaucoma. Methods: This retrospective single-center study included patients with mild-to-moderate open-angle glaucoma (OAG) who underwent Ab-interno canaloplasty (ABiC) with iTrack Advance (Nova Eye Medical) with or without combined phacoemulsification. Primary outcomes were intraocular pressure (IOP) and glaucoma medications at 12-, 24-month, and last follow-up (LFU) visits. Secondary outcomes included the proportion of eyes reaching target IOPs, requiring no medications, and achieving success as per American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) criteria. Results: Ninety-eight eyes (60 patients, mean age: 71.4 ± 7.0 years) were included, with a mean follow-up of 19.0 ± 5.7 months. Mean IOP (mm Hg) reduced from 18.3 ± 4.3 at baseline ( Conclusion: Interventional treatment with iTrack Advance canaloplasty in early OAG showed high safety and achieved IOP control, with near-elimination of medication dependence sustained over 24 months postoperatively. Clinical significance: iTrack Advance canaloplasty provides sustained IOP control and strong medication reduction in the medium term. How to cite this article: Ondrejka S, Koerber N.
