Topical timolol maleate might adversely affect serum lipoproteins.
Article in International ophthalmology, 1993. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Conflicting observations have been reported about the effects of topically administered timolol maleate on serum lipoproteins. We therefore considered this issue in a series of eight glaucoma patients receiving timolol maleate. Cholesterol and triglycerides were measured in plasma and in low-density lipoproteins (LDL), and high-density lipoproteins (HDL), both before and following three months of treatment. Following the treatment, the mean atherogenic index was increased from 2.72 to 3.38 (p = 0.012). This suggests that the atherogenic index should be determined before and during timolol maleate treatment in high-risk cardiovascular patients.
