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

Purpose: To evaluate the 2-year efficacy and safety of gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) for normal-tension glaucoma (NTG). Methods: This single-center retrospective case series included 9 NTG patients (12 eyes) undergoing GATT, with follow-up at postoperative day 1, week 1, and months 1, 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24. Primary outcomes were changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) and IOP-lowering medication burden at 24 months (counted by active ingredients). Complete and qualified success were assessed using strict criteria (from postoperative month 1 onward: IOP 6-15 mmHg and ≥20% reduction from baseline). Postoperative events and additional interventions/reoperations were recorded. Paired Results: The median age at surgery was 65 (53-70) years, and most eyes had moderate-to-advanced glaucoma. Mean IOP decreased from 17.33 ± 3.53 mmHg to 13.33 ± 2.35 mmHg at 24 months (mean reduction 4.00 ± 2.86 mmHg; 95% CI 2.18-5.82; Conclusion: GATT significantly reduced IOP and medication burden in NTG with a safety profile through 24 months. Larger prospective studies are warranted.
