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
Objective: To evaluate and compare the clinical outcomes of phacoemulsification (PE) combined with trabeculectomy (TB) versus PE combined with goniosynechialysis (GSL) in managing primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) coexisting with cataract. Methodology: This clinical research was designed as a retrospective study, including 71 patients with PACG and cataract who underwent surgical treatment at Zibo Center Hospital between October 2023 and May 2025. Among them, 37 patients (37 eyes) underwent PE and intraocular lens implantation combined with TB (PE+TB group), and 34 patients (34 eyes) underwent PE and intraocular lens implantation combined with goniosynechialysis (PE+GSL group). Patients were followed up for 12 weeks after surgery to assess intraocular pressure (IOP), best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central anterior chamber depth (CACD), corneal endothelial cell counts (ECCs), and the incidence of postoperative complications. Results: After surgery, IOP, BCVA, CACD, and ECCs improved significantly from baseline in both groups. However, between-group comparison showed a statistically significant difference only in IOP, which was lower in the PE+TB group than in the PE+GSL group (P<0.05), whereas BCVA, CACD, and ECCs were comparable between groups (all P>0.05). During postoperative follow-up, the incidence of complications in the PE+GSL group was significantly lower than that in the PE+TB group (P<0.05). Conclusions: PE combined with either TB or GSL has its own advantages in the treatment of PACG with cataract: PE+TB results in lower IOP, while PE+GSL leads to fewer complications.
