Comparison of trabeculectomy and gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy results in long eyes wıth open-angle glaucoma.

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
purposeThis study aims to compare one-year results and success rates of trabeculectomy and gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) in eyes with long axial length (AL) and glaucoma.
methodThis retrospective study included patients with an AL greater than 24 mm who underwent trabeculectomy (29 eyes) or GATT surgery (33 eyes) in our hospital and had at least a one-year follow-up. Complete success was defined as achieving an IOP > 5 and ≤ 21 mmHg (criterion A), > 5 and ≤ 18 mmHg (criterion B), or > 5 and ≤ 15 mmHg (criterion C), without the use of antiglaucoma medications or additional surgical interventions, except for bleb needling. The same IOP levels with or without medication were considered as overall success.
resultsThe GATT group required significantly more antiglaucoma medications at the 1-week, 1-month, and 3-month follow-ups (p < 0.05 for all). Complete success rates were higher in the trabeculectomy group based on criteria A, B, and C (p < 0.05 for each), and the overall success rates based on criteria A, B, and C were similar in both groups in one-year follow-up (p > 0.05 for each). The failure rates based on all three criteria were similar in both groups (p > 0.05 for each). The cumulative probability of overall success based on criterion B was 93.1, 86.2 and 79.3% at 3, 6 and 12 months in the trabeculectomy group and 90.9, 84.5 and 81.8% at 3, 6 and 12 months in the GATT group. The incidence of postoperative complications was higher in the GATT group, and the majority of complications were haemorrhage-related.
conclusionIn eyes with long AL, the requirement for antiglaucoma medications is reduced in the first three months following trabeculectomy compared to GATT. Although the overall success rate was similar in both groups, the complete success rates of criteria A, B and C were higher in the trabeculectomy group. GATT may be considered an alternative in eyes with long AL.
