Real-world effectiveness and safety of a fixed-dose combination of 0.4% ripasudil and 0.1% brimonidine in the management of uveitic glaucoma.
Article in Japanese journal of 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
purposeTo evaluate the real-world use, treatment outcomes, and tolerability of the fixed-dose combination of ripasudil 0.4% and brimonidine 0.1% (RBFC) eye drops in patients with uveitic glaucoma (UG). STUDY
designSingle-center retrospective case series.
methodsMedical records of 39 eyes with open-angle UG treated with RBFC were reviewed. The outcome measures included changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) and glaucoma drug score (GDS) at 12 months, the proportion of eyes with an IOP reduction of ≥2 mmHg at 12 months, the relationship between the duration of UG and the change in IOP at 12 months, changes in IOP in eyes switched from ripasudil plus brimonidine, and adverse events.
resultsThe median IOP significantly decreased from 19 mmHg at baseline to 14 mmHg at 12 months (p < 0.001), while the median GDS showed no significant change, from 3 at baseline to 4 at 12 months (p = 0.562). At 12 months, 64% of eyes achieved an IOP reduction of ≥2 mmHg. A positive correlation was observed between the duration of UG and the change in IOP at 12 months (rho = 0.539, p < 0.01). In the subgroup analysis restricted to eyes switched from ripasudil plus brimonidine eye drops to RBFC, IOP showed a decreasing trend (p = 0.057). No drug-related adverse events were observed, except for transient conjunctival hyperemia.
conclusionThis real-world study in patients with UG showed that RBFC achieves effective IOP control while reducing treatment burden, with good tolerability, supporting its continued use in UG management.
