Autologous rotational partial thickness scleral flap - A salvage technique for late leaking blebs with scleral fistula.
Article in Indian 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
Success rates for trabeculectomy have notably advanced with the adjunctive use of antifibrotic agents, particularly mitomycin C. Despite this, the increased prevalence of thin, cystic blebs and late-onset bleb leaks, particularly those complicated by scleral fistula formation, represents a visually threatening sequela. This manuscript delineates a modified autologous rotational partial-thickness scleral flap technique employed as a salvage procedure in managing late, leaking, thin cystic blebs with underlying scleral fistulae. In two patients managed with this technique, we observed re-establishment of an anatomically stable, moderately vascularized bleb, and maintenance of intraocular pressure within target range over 18-24 months. The procedure utilizes trypan blue-assisted peeling of the epithelium and a rotational, partial-thickness scleral flap, with conjunctival advancement, thereby achieving tectonic support and functional preservation of filtration.
