Increased incidence of glaucoma and intraocular pressure fluctuation after vitrectomy for macular hole and macular pucker.
Article in Taiwan journal of ophthalmology. 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
purposeTo investigate the incidence of glaucoma and changes in intraocular pressure fluctuation (IOPF) after vitrectomy for macular pucker (MP) and macular hole (MH). MATERIALS AND
methodsIn this multicenter retrospective cohort study, 778 patients who underwent only one vitrectomy for MP or MH were enrolled from the Chang Gung Research Database. Glaucoma development was defined as the continuous prescription of anti-glaucoma medication for more than 3 months, and the diagnosis was made later than 60 days postoperatively (index date). Postoperative IOPF was defined as the standard deviation (SD) of IOP measurements after the index date, whereas postoperative pretreatment IOPF was defined as the SD of IOP measured from the index date until the initiation of glaucoma treatment. The incidence of postoperative glaucoma and IOPF in vitrectomized eyes was compared with those in the nonvitrectomized fellow eyes.
resultsForty vitrectomized and 17 fellow eyes developed glaucoma after the index date during the follow-up period (60 months). The vitrectomized eyes showed a higher glaucoma incidence (9.06, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 6.25-11.86) than fellow eyes (3.75, 95% CI: 1.97-5.53), along with higher postoperative IOPF (1.93 vs. 1.74 mmHg,
conclusionHigher postoperative IOPF and higher glaucoma incidence were observed in eyes that underwent vitrectomy for MP or MH.
