Australian and New Zealand Glaucoma Society (ANZGS) Consensus on Interventional Glaucoma.
Article in Clinical & experimental ophthalmology. 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
backgroundTraditional reactive 'wait and see' approaches in glaucoma management often result in unacceptable rates of permanent vision loss. This consensus defines a proactive 'interventional glaucoma' framework tailored for the Australian and New Zealand healthcare context.
methodsA modified Delphi consensus process was utilised, consisting of a lead panel of 12 experts (10 Australian, 1 New Zealand, and 1 Singaporean) and a validation cohort of 55 glaucoma specialists and ophthalmologists. Consensus was established via live panel presentations and real-time electronic polling. Participants evaluated statements using a three-tier scale: agree, stand aside, or object, with a pre-defined consensus threshold of an objection rate < 20%.
resultsTwelve consensus statements were ratified. Key points include the formalised classification of glaucoma as a progressive optic neuropathy and the staging of disease to personalise target intraocular pressures to minimise progression. Selective laser trabeculoplasty and Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery were recognised for their role in reducing the daily medication burden for mild-to-moderate disease. Traditional incisional surgeries remain the gold standard for advanced or refractory cases. The emerging role of Polygenic Risk Scores in adult-onset glaucoma was also acknowledged.
conclusionsThis Australian and New Zealand Glaucoma Society consensus on interventional glaucoma advocates for a shift towards an interventional paradigm. By utilising advanced diagnostics and timely procedural interventions, clinicians can better preserve visual function and optimise long-term patient quality of life.
