Comparison of 360-Degree Trabeculotomy Versus Traditional Angle Surgery in Primary Congenital Glaucoma: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in Journal of glaucoma, 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
prcisSystematic Meta-Analysis demonstrates greater IOP reduction, fewer glaucoma medication uses, and a higher surgical success rate with 360-degree trabeculotomy compared with traditional angle surgery in primary congenital glaucoma. PURPOSE: Primary congenital glaucoma (PCG) is a rare vision-threatening disorder that can lead to blindness if untreated. The aim of the study is to compare the effectiveness of traditional angle surgery (goniotomy and rigid-probe trabeculotomy) versus 360-degree trabeculotomy in children with PCG.
methodsA comprehensive search was conducted across PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, Cochrane (CENTRAL), ScienceDirect, and Clinicaltrials.gov. A total of 1740 studies were obtained from databases, and 12 studies, 3 RCTs, and 9 Retrospective studies met the inclusion criteria. Mean Differences (MD) for continuous outcomes and Odds Ratios (OR) for dichotomous outcomes were analyzed. The primary outcomes were the reduction in intraocular pressure (IOP) and the number of antiglaucoma medications at 12 months postoperatively.
resultsPooled analysis of 778 eyes demonstrated that 360-degree trabeculotomy showed a significant reduction in IOP and number of antiglaucoma medications compared with traditional angle surgery by -2.10 mm Hg (-3.26 to -0.94; P =0.0004, I2 =55%) and -0.47 drops (-0.69 to -0.25; P <0.0001, I2 =55%), respectively. Compared with traditional angle surgery group, the 360-degree trabeculotomy group showed higher complete and qualified success rates with OR of 5.07 (3.43-7.50; P <0.0001, I2 =4%) and 3.00 (1.47-6.12; P =0.003, I2 =46%) respectively, and as well as, reduction in failure rate with OR of 0.18 (0.11-0.31; P <0.0001, I2 =14%). No statistically significant differences were observed for postoperative axial length, change in cup/disc ratio, or change in horizontal corneal diameter.
conclusions360-degree trabeculotomy showed greater reduction in IOP and number of antiglaucoma medications postoperatively than traditional angle surgery with improved success and reduced failure rates.
