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

Introduction: Glaucoma following corneal transplantation and artificial iris implantation represents a major therapeutic challenge, and data on optimal surgical management in such complex cases are scarce. Case Presentation: We report the case of a 28-year-old male with uncontrolled intraocular pressure (IOP) after penetrating keratoplasty and Morcher aniridia ring implantation. Despite maximally tolerated medical therapy, IOP remained elevated. PreserFlo MicroShunt implantation was performed successfully, leading to sustained IOP reduction without medications and preservation of graft clarity at 7-month follow-up. Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of PreserFlo MicroShunt implantation in a patient with combined keratoplasty and Morcher aniridia rings. This case highlights the potential role of PreserFlo as a viable option for IOP control in complex post-traumatic and postsurgical eyes. However, the findings represent a short-term (7-month) outcome, and the long-term efficacy requires further evaluation.
