1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

aimTo investigate the intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering efficacy of bleb-free

methodsThis retrospective cohort study enrolled patients with uncontrolled open angle glaucoma (OAG) who underwent standalone KDB

resultsA total of 23 participants (15 males) were included, with a mean age of 69.3±9.6y. The baseline mean IOP was 21.7±5.6 mm Hg, with patients taking an average of 3.1±1.0 topical IOP-lowering medications, and 10 patients received adjuvant systemic acetazolamide preoperatively. At the 3-month follow-up, the mean IOP decreased to 12.7±4.3 mm Hg, with a mean medication score of 2.9±1.8. At the 6-month follow-up, mean IOP was reduced by 40.6% from the baseline level (
