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

purposeTo evaluate the early postoperative safety and long-term efficacy of Ologen augmented trabeculectomy (Olo-trab) with releasable scleral flap suture in eyes with advanced primary open/closed angle glaucoma.

methodsThis was a single-center, prospective, interventional, and noncomparative study of patients who underwent Olo-trab for advanced glaucoma (cup disc ratio > 0.8), in whom target pressure could not be met despite maximum permissible medical therapy. Postoperatively, patients were followed up for 12 months and evaluated for early postoperative complications within 1 month. The primary surgery success rate was assessed at 6 months and 1 year.

resultsThe study cohort comprised 31 eyes of 27 patients. The mean age of the population was 59.48 ± 10.41 years. Eight cases were on two-drug antiglaucoma medications (AGMs), 13 on three drugs, and 10 were using four AGMs. The mean preoperative intraoperative pressure (IOP) of the cohort was 30.5 ± 9.1 mmHg. A total of 15 cases underwent combined phacoemulsification and trabeculectomy. Early postoperative hypotony was the only complication observed in 2/31 eyes (6%). Twelve months post surgery, 27 out of 31 eyes (87.10%) had a complete success, and the remaining 4 (12.9%) achieved a qualified/partial success. Mean postoperative IOP readings at all follow-up visits were significantly lower than those at preoperative levels ( P < 0.001).

conclusionsOlo-Trab with a releasable scleral flap suture has shown encouraging results for IOP control with a marginalized risk of postoperative hypotony in advanced cases of primary glaucoma.
