Safety and effectiveness of a new minimally invasive glaucoma surgery namely trabeculotome tunneling trabeculoplasty in primary 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
Aim: This study aimed to report the preliminary surgical outcomes of a new minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS), namely trabeculotome tunneling trabeculoplasty (3T) in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). Methods: This retrospective observational study with prospective follow-up included POAG patients who underwent 3T surgery at Chengdu First People's Hospital between December 2022 and June 2024. Postoperative follow-up was conducted at 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months. Evaluations included intraocular pressure (IOP), number of medications, surgical success rate, and postoperative complications. Results: Baseline mean IOP was 23.06 ± 0.72 mmHg with a median of 3 (interquartile range, IQR: 2-3) medications. Postoperative IOP significantly decreased at all follow-up points except at 1 week ( Conclusion: 3T appears to be a safe and effective surgical option for POAG, providing sustained IOP reduction and medication burden relief with a low incidence of postoperative complications. Larger, controlled studies with longer follow-up are warranted to further validate these findings.
