Iridotomy to slow progression of angle‐closure glaucoma

Protocol

Differences between protocol and review

We added methods for assessing the certainty of the evidence and presenting outcomes in a 'Summary of findings' table in accordance with revised Cochrane standards and GRADE. We revised our background to be more concise and clarified that comparator (observation) refers to no iridotomy. For our secondary outcomes, we also considered data for longer‐term follow‐up closest to one year if trials did not report outcomes at one year.

Methods not implemented

We did not conduct a meta‐analysis as planned because data are not available for all outcomes and the full reports of the trials are still under preparation. Accordingly, we did not perform assessment of reporting biases, subgroup analyses and sensitivity analyses.

Outcome

El uso y la enseñanza del modelo PICO están muy extendidos en el ámbito de la atención sanitaria basada en la evidencia para formular preguntas y estrategias de búsqueda y para caracterizar estudios o metanálisis clínicos. PICO son las siglas en inglés de cuatro posibles componentes de una pregunta de investigación: paciente, población o problema; intervención; comparación; desenlace (outcome).

*The risk in the intervention group (and its 95% CI) is based on the assumed risk in the comparison group and the relative effect of the intervention (and its 95% CI).

CI: Confidence interval; RR: Risk ratio; MD: Mean difference; IOP: Intraocular pressure

GRADE Working Group grades of evidence
High‐certainty: We are very confident that the true effect lies close to that of the estimate of the effect
Moderate‐certainty: We are moderately confident in the effect estimate: The true effect is likely to be close to the estimate of the effect, but there is a possibility that it is substantially different
Low‐certainty: Our confidence in the effect estimate is limited: The true effect may be substantially different from the estimate of the effect
Very low‐certainty: We have very little confidence in the effect estimate: The true effect is likely to be substantially different from the estimate of effect

1 Downgraded by one level for risk of bias, as the study is at unclear risk of bias for incomplete outcome data, selective outcome reporting, and other sources of bias due to the lack of availability of a full trial report.

2 Downgraded by one level for imprecision, as the confidence interval of the risk ratio between the groups is wide.
