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

Healthcare systems worldwide are burdened significantly due to glaucoma, which is a leading cause of irreversible blindness. A total of 76 million are currently affected, and it is estimated that by the year 2040, 112 million will be affected by glaucoma. Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) is a recent innovation that plays a key role in glaucoma management. We aimed to conduct a systematic review of the safety and efficacy of MIGS devices and procedures and their use in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) to lower intraocular pressure (IOP).
