Manipulable preoperative factors affecting surgical outcomes of iStent inject W, particularly the type of antiglaucoma medications.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
To analyze the surgical outcomes of iStent inject W (ISIW) implantation and investigate the influence of preoperative factors. In total, 114 eyes of 114 patients (mean age, 73.22 ± 7.84 y) were enrolled in this retrospective study. The patients underwent ISIW implantation at the Jikei University Hospital. The number of antiglaucoma medications was converted into glaucoma medication scores (GMS). Linear mixed model (LMM) analysis was performed by setting GMS and intraocular pressure (IOP) change as objective variables, and the postoperative days, preoperative mean deviation (MD), preoperative IOP, and various antiglaucoma medications as fixed effects. The preoperative IOP was 15.06 ± 3.51 mmHg and significantly reduced to 12.22 ± 2.23 mmHg at 3 months and 12.99 ± 2.45 mmHg at 12 months. The mean GMS was 2.46 ± 1.33 preoperatively, and decreased to 1.32 ± 1.31 at 3 months, and 1.60 ± 1.41 at 12 months postoperatively. The IOP and GMS values were based on a subset of 72 eyes with 12-months of complete follow-up data. LMM analysis showed significant coefficients for IOP change in relation to postoperative days and preoperative IOP, and for GMS change in relation to postoperative days, β blockers (BB), and Rho kinase inhibitors (ROCK inhibitors). Preoperative factors, particularly medication use, influenced outcomes, indicating that BB or ROCK inhibitors were associated with a greater reduction in the need for postoperative antiglaucoma medications.
