Aqueous Humour Outflow Assessment Using Imaging-Based Techniques in Angle-Based Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS): A Systematic Review.
Synthesis in Clinical & experimental ophthalmology, 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
backgroundThe adoption of angle-based minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) procedures has accelerated in recent years; however, inherent limitations remain. Imaging-based techniques across the pre-, intra- and post-operative stages of surgery may facilitate patient selection and improve surgical outcomes. This systematic review explores the application of imaging-based techniques to visualise aqueous humour outflow (AHO) in angle-based MIGS.
methodsA literature search was performed on PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane Library from inception to 16 February 2025. Cohort, cross-sectional and observational studies reporting the use of imaging-based techniques to visualise AHO in angle-based MIGS were included in this review.
resultsAn initial 393 studies were identified, with 21 studies included in final analysis. Imaging techniques reported in literature included various methods to directly observe episcleral veins, haemoglobin venous imaging (HVI), fluorescein and indocyanine green (ICG) aqueous angiography, channelogram and anterior segment optical coherence tomography angiography (AS-OCTA). Visualisation of AHO pre- and intra-operatively may predict surgical outcomes, aiding in patient selection and surgical prognostication. Intra-operative imaging may facilitate targeted placement of MIGS in areas of initially angiographically low or high areas of AHO. AHO assessment pre-, intra- and post-operatively may allow comparative analysis of surgical success and efficacy across various angle-based MIGS.
conclusionsImaging-based techniques visualising AHO have significant potential to improve surgical outcomes of angle-based MIGS.
