Clinical Efficacy of Ultrasound Cycloplasty for Glaucoma Patients and Pathological Observation on the Ciliary Body in Rabbit Models.

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
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ultrasound cycloplasty (UCP) for glaucoma patients and the ciliary body in rabbit models. Methods: A prospective case series clinical trial and a animal experiment were carried out separately. For human subjects, 55 patients (55 eyes) with refractory glaucoma underwent UCP. The preoperative and postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP), number of antiglaucoma medications, relevant parameters for measuring the ciliary body after UCP, ocular pain grade, and rate of surgical complications were recorded. For animal subjects, eighteen pigmented rabbits were subjected to UCP, and histological changes were observed under light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy 3 months after surgery. Results: The mean IOP was 45.05 ± 12.29 mmHg before surgery and 23.30 ± 10.00 mmHg 1 year after surgery, the mean number of antiglaucoma medications used was 3 (2, 3) before surgery and 1 (1, 2) 1 year after surgery, and The Visual Analog Scale score was 5 (4, 6) before surgery and 1(1, 2) 1 year after surgery (both Conclusions: UCP is effective and safe for refractory glaucoma and requires a long follow-up time. It can effectively decrease IOP in glaucoma patients, reduce number of antiglaucoma medications, relief the pain, and has fewer complications.
