Changes in ocular blood flow and haemodynamic waveform parameters following trabeculectomy.
Article in BMJ open 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
objectivesTo evaluate postoperative changes in ocular blood flow velocity and waveform parameters measured by laser speckle flowgraphy (LSFG) following trabeculectomy (TLE) in patients with glaucoma. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This retrospective study included 80 eyes of 80 patients with glaucoma who underwent TLE and underwent LSFG examinations before and at 1, 3 and 6 months after surgery. LSFG-derived blood flow velocity parameters (mean blur rate (MBR) in MBR of vascular area (MV) and MBR of tissue area (MT), area ratio of blood speed and vascular cloudiness) and waveform parameters (blowout time, blowout score (BOS), skew, acceleration time index, rising rate, falling rate, flow acceleration index (FAI), resistivity index (RI) and fluctuation) were longitudinally evaluated using linear mixed-effects models.
resultsIntraocular pressure (IOP) significantly decreased from 18.3 mm Hg preoperatively to 10.1, 10.0 and 9.9 mm Hg at 1, 3 and 6 months after TLE, respectively (all p<0.01). MV significantly decreased at all postoperative time points (all p<0.01), whereas MT showed a mild decrease only at 6 months (p=0.023). Among waveform parameters, BOS significantly increased postoperatively (all p<0.05), whereas FAI, RI and fluctuation significantly decreased at all postoperative time points (all p<0.01). IOP measured at each visit was independently associated with FAI and fluctuation, whereas age, mean deviation (MD) and axial length (AL) were associated with selected blood flow velocity and waveform parameters.
conclusionThese findings suggest that postoperative changes in ocular haemodynamics reflect the combined influence of postoperative IOP, patient age, MD and AL.
