Anterior Segment Changes after Lens Extraction in Acute Angle-Closure Glaucoma Assessed by Scheimpflug Tomography.
Article in Korean journal of ophthalmology : KJO, 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
purposeThis study aimed to evaluate changes in anterior segment morphology and intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with acute angle-closure glaucoma (AACG) following early phacoemulsification, using Scheimpflug-Placido disc tomography.
methodsIn this retrospective cohort study, 32 eyes of 32 phakic patients diagnosed with AACG and referred to a tertiary hospital between 2021 and 2023 were included. After medical stabilization of IOP and inflammation, all patients underwent cataract surgery within 1 month of the acute attack. Anterior segment parameters were assessed using Scheimpflug-Placido disc tomography before and 1 month after surgery. Paired t-tests were used for statistical analysis.
resultsThe mean age of patients was 65.76 ± 9.63 years. Postoperatively, best-corrected visual acuity improved significantly (preoperative, 0.81 ± 0.92 logMAR; postoperative, 0.18 ± 0.30 logMAR; p < 0.01). Mean IOP decreased by 22.80 ± 3.45 mmHg (p < 0.01). Significant increases were observed in iridocorneal angle (from 24.62° ± 9.59° to 46.20° ± 10.93°), anterior chamber depth (from 1.34 ± 0.65 to 3.02 ± 0.82 mm), and anterior chamber volume (from 98.01 ± 28.62 to 145.87 ± 27.27 mm3), all with p < 0.01. Central corneal thickness decreased slightly but significantly (from 579.80 ± 47.48 to 556.80 ± 47.29 μm, p = 0.03).
conclusionsEarly lens extraction in AACG significantly improves anterior segment parameters and lowers IOP. Scheimpflug- Placido disc tomography is a useful noninvasive tool to quantify these changes.
