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

Aim and background: To report a case in which a targeted early minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) approach successfully prevented irreversible sight loss from acute secondary angle closure following tectonic penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) in an eye with a prior porcine-derived corneal stromal implant (Xenia®) as treatment for advanced keratoconus. Case description: The authors describe successful surgical treatment of a patient who developed acute intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation following tectonic PKP for perforated bacterial microbial keratitis. We demonstrate that combined goniosynechialysis (GSL) and iStent Inject® trabecular micro-bypass implantation are effective in reversing postoperative synechial angle closure, restoring angle integrity, and preventing progressive glaucomatous optic neuropathy and, thus, irreversible sight loss in an eye with a functioning PKP. Conclusion: The authors highlight the importance of early recognition and referral to a glaucoma specialist for prompt mechanism-targeted MIGS to manage postkeratoplasty secondary angle closure. Clinical significance: Early targeted MIGS intervention may prevent the need for complex glaucoma filtration surgery in eyes with secondary synechial angle closure following corneal transplant surgery.
