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
backgroundMany cases of hypertensive uveitis progress to visual field narrowing due to difficulty controlling intraocular pressure. The purpose of this retrospective study was to identify factors related to avoidance of trabeculectomy (TLE) in patients with hypertensive uveitis.
methodsParticipants comprised patients diagnosed with ocular inflammatory disease at Nippon Medical School Tama Nagayama Hospital, Ocular Inflammation Service between April 2018 and September 2022. Logistic regression analysis was performed using avoidance of TLE as the objective variable and the following as explanatory variables: age, sex, use of biologics, granulomatous type, background disease, and treatment.
resultsA total of 745 eyes in 480 patients were investigated. Mean age was 57.1 ± 19.6 years, with a male-to-female ratio of 205:275. Hypertensive uveitis was identified in 200 patients (41.7%). The most common causative disease was scleritis (26.5%), followed by sarcoidosis (16.7%), Vogt–Koyanagi–Harada disease (6.0%), Behcet’s disease (5.2%), herpetic keratouveitis (5.0%), HLA-B27-associated uveitis (2.3%), cytomegalovirus iritis/corneal endotheliitis (1.7%), and Posner–Schlossman syndrome (0.6%). The disease type for the remaining 21.9% was unclassifiable. Anti-inflammatory treatments were: topical steroid (100%), sub-conjunctival or sub-Tenon injection of steroid (16.8%), oral steroid (16.6%), oral immunosuppressants (9.1%), and biologics (8.2%). Sixty-eight eyes (9.1%) had a history of TLE. Factors associated with avoidance of TLE were use of biologics (odds ratio [OR] 2.93, p = 0.01) and use of oral immunosuppressants (OR 1.42, p = 0.08).
conclusionAround 9.1% of hypertensive uveitis cases progress to needing TLE. Use of biologics and oral immunosuppressants may help avoid TLE among patients with hypertensive uveitis.
