The paradox of treatment: Ciliary effusion induced by travoprost - A case report.
Article in American journal of ophthalmology case reports, 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
Purpose: This case highlights a rare association between prostaglandin analog therapy and isolated ciliary body effusion. Observations: Travoprost is a topical prostaglandin analog frequently prescribed as an intraocular pressure-lowering agent. We report the case of an 84-year-old pseudophakic female with primary open-angle glaucoma who developed ciliary effusion after long-term travoprost use. Patient reported decreased vision in her left eye over two weeks. Ophthalmological examination revealed decreased visual acuity, myopic shift, shallowed anterior chamber, and increased intraocular pressure in the left eye. Fundoscopy was unremarkable. Anterior segment optical coherence tomography revealed presumed ciliary body effusion with anterior displacement of the iris-intraocular lens complex. Significant resolution occurred within one week after discontinuing travoprost. Conclusions and importance: Isolated ciliary effusion should be recognized as a rare adverse effect of travoprost, with drug discontinuation playing both diagnostic and therapeutic roles.
