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

PurposeThis systematic review and meta-analysis aims to compare BT and DT in terms of intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction, safety, and patient preferences.MethodsFollowing PRISMA and Cochrane guidelines, we searched PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, CENTRAL, and Embase up to December 30, 2024. Twelve studies (11 randomized controlled trials [RCTs]) involving 1,885 patients were included. Primary outcomes were IOP reduction and adverse events. Statistical analyses were performed using Review Manager 5.4.1, with mean differences (MD) and risk ratios (RR) calculated for continuous and binary outcomes.ResultsBT demonstrated a statistically greater reduction in the morning IOP compared to DT at 12 weeks or more (BT: MD = 0.56 mmHg,
