Malignant glaucoma with variable outcomes after irido-zonulo-hyaloid-vitrectomy-bilateral involvement: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionMalignant glaucoma is an uncommon but serious complication of intraocular surgery, including filtration surgery and phacoemulsification, with an incidence of 2-4%. It arises from an obstruction in aqueous humor flow, leading to elevated posterior pressure and subsequent complications. Delayed or insufficient treatment can result in irreversible vision loss. This case highlights the importance of early surgical intervention and anti-inflammatory management for preventing complications and achieving improved outcomes. CASE PRESENTATION: A 56-year-old Chinese woman presented with bilateral malignant glaucoma. The initial treatment of the right eye involved medications for 3 months, followed by yttrium aluminium garnet laser posterior capsulotomy, which offered limited success. Irido-zonulo-hyaloid-vitrectomy was eventually performed, successfully normalizing her intraocular pressure but resulting in macular cystoid edema 6 months later. Her left eye, diagnosed with malignant glaucoma 2 months after the right eye's presentation, received early intervention with cataract extraction, intraocular lens implantation, and irido-zonulo-hyaloid-vitrectomy. This approach yielded excellent outcomes, with optimal intraocular pressure control and preserved vision without complications.
conclusionThis case underscores the importance of early surgical intervention, particularly irido-zonulo-hyaloid-vitrectomy, in managing malignant glaucoma. Early intervention can prevent postoperative complications such as macular edema and ensure superior visual outcomes. Tailored anti-inflammatory approaches further mitigate associated risks and enhance long-term prognosis in cases of bilateral involvement.
