Long-Term Efficacy of Phacoemulsification Combined With Trabeculectomy for Advanced Chronic Primary Angle-Closure Glaucoma With Cataract: A 3-Year Retrospective Study.
Article in 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
Purpose: To evaluate the long-term efficacy of phacoemulsification combined with trabeculectomy (Phaco-Trab) for advanced chronic primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) with cataract. Methods: Patients with advanced chronic PACG coexisting with cataracts who underwent Phaco-Trab were enrolled. The morphologic structures of filtering blebs, including characteristics under slit-lamp examination, anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT), and in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM), were used to evaluate the filtering function. Results: A total of 30 eyes from 27 patients were enrolled. The mean preoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) of 19.98 ± 6.48 mmHg significantly decreased to 13.73 ± 2.35 mmHg at year 3 ( Conclusions: Phaco-Trab can significantly lower IOP and reduce the use of IOP-lowering medications for advanced chronic PACG with cataracts, but it is associated with a higher rate of complications and a higher failure rate of the filtering bleb.
