Latanoprostene bunod: the first nitric oxide-donating antiglaucoma medication.
Review in Medical gas research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 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
Glaucoma is a chronic optic neuropathy that causes characteristic visual field defects and is considered one of the leading causes of irreversible vision loss worldwide. Lowering intraocular pressure is the only proven treatment for glaucoma. Medical therapy is usually the first-line treatment for open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. Latanoprostene bunod ophthalmic drop 0.024% is a nitric oxide-donating prostaglandin F2α analog. It lowers the intraocular pressure via a dual mechanism of enhancing aqueous humor outflow through both the trabecular meshwork and uveoscleral pathways. Additionally, the nitric oxide component has shown promise in regulating ocular blood flow and promoting the survival of retinal ganglionic cells. Herein, the mechanism of action, efficacy, safety, and tolerability of the latanoprostene bunod and its effects on ocular blood flow are reviewed. Latanoprostene bunod has demonstrated strong efficacy and a favorable safety profile in both clinical trials and real-world studies. Given the promising results of latanoprostene bunod and advancements in drug delivery, topical fixed-combination and sustained-release formulations containing latanoprostene bunod and other agents targeting different intraocular pressure-lowering mechanisms may become available in the future.
