Long-Term in vivo Positional Stability of a Suprachoroidal Telemetric Intraocular Pressure Sensor Implant.
Article in Clinical ophthalmology (Auckland, N.Z.), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term in vivo positional stability of a novel suprachoroidal telemetric intraocular pressure (IOP) sensor implant. Methods: In this prospective, open-label, multicenter interventional study, 24 patients undergoing nonpenetrating glaucoma surgery with simultaneous implantation of the suprachoroidal EyeMate-SC IOP sensor were considered (Implandata Ophthalmic Products GmbH, Hannover, Germany). Overall, 11 patients were excluded owing to incomplete data. Of the remaining patients, 11 were diagnosed with primary open-angle glaucoma, 1 with pseudoexfoliative glaucoma, and 1 with uveitic glaucoma. The sensor position was measured intraoperatively via surgical video analysis and postoperatively via swept-source anterior segment optical coherence tomography (Anterion, Heidelberg Engineering GmbH, Heidelberg, Germany) with reference to the anatomical limbus. Postoperative assessments were conducted at 10, 30, 90, 180, 270, 360, 540, 720, 900, and 1080 days. Results: Unilateral implantation was successful in all 24 cases. No dislocations occurred. In one patient, partial suprachoroidal positioning was observed intraoperatively, with subsequent autonomous repositioning into full suprachoroidal placement within weeks. Excluding this case, the absolute implant position was 1.6 ± 0.8 mm at day 0, 1.7 ± 1.0 mm at day 360, 1.9 ± 1.8 mm at day 720, and 2.1 ± 0.9 mm at day 1080. Notably, the relationship between ΔIOP (Goldmann applanation tonometry - EyeMate-SC reading) and absolute implant position remained nonsignificant, regardless of whether the patient with the initially incomplete implantation was included (r = -0.08, 95% CI: -0.32 to 0.38) or excluded (r = -0.11, 95% CI: -0.37 to 0.36). Conclusion: This study indicates high long-term in vivo positional stability of the EyeMate-SC IOP sensor. The observed variations were within measurement uncertainty. This supports the sensor's potential for safe and continuous IOP monitoring in glaucoma care.
